About James
Biography
I take a limited number of personal injury cases (including employment discrimination) so I give 100% attention to your case. I will be working on your case directly, and can promise you that you will get personalized attention. I have a strong record of jury trial success, and consequently, many favorable settlments, which can be viewed in more detail at my website . My last major judgment was for 8.3 million dollars in 2015 in Jackson County Circuit Court in a Westport Bar dispute, which included a defamation judgment of 2 million dollars against the attorney/bar owner's company.
