James Monroe Scurlock

My areas of practices are listed above.  I provide representation for both plaintiffs and defendants in all such actions.  My focus is on helping people in difficult situations and trying to find a way to resolve issues before the become legal problems when possible.  As such, I never charge for my first consultation with a client becaus it isn't fair for me to charge you if I don't even know if I can help you yet. 

I practice in all the state and federal courts of Texas, Arkansas, and Tennessee.  I specifically practice in the Northern, Eastern, and Western Districts of Texas, the Eastern and Western Districts of Arkansas, and the Eastern, Middle, and Western Districts of Tennessee.  In addition, I practice before the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth and Eighth Circuits.  I have also been associated to practice in the federal courts of Mississippi.  During the course of my working life, I have negotiated more than $250 million in contracted business by building partnerships that have benefited my employers as well as my clients producing positive results from these partnerships in a time when opportunities for such success were limited.  I communicate and negotiate effectively with clients and other interested parties. 

Specifically in my legal practice, I have been responsible for millions of dollars in settlements and avoided legal costs for my clients.  I have extensive involvement in litigation dating back more than nine years and, as a law student, had the privilege of arguing before the Eight Circuit Court of Appeals.

I know how to get business done and bring that ability to every case I work.
