About James

I am a Colorado auto accident lawyer.

I have been a licensed attorney since 1989.  Originally from northern California, I've worked as a law clerk for the Colorado Court of Appeals in Denver, and moved to Colorado Springs in 1990. I've practiced personal injury law since 1990. 

Between 1990 and 1995, I worked as a litigation defense attorney representing individuals, insurance companies, and large corporations.

Since forming the law firm of McCormick & Murphy, P.C. with my good friend Kirk McCormick in 1995, I have focused my practice on representing injured Coloradans.
