About James

Hand-Crafted Law is Here.

For 20 years, James S. Iagmin (YAHG-min) has represented only plaintiffs in catastrophic personal injury, employment, and real estate fraud cases. A tough advocate, he gets incredible results for his clients. Jim also brings integrity and humanity to the process. He helps clients cope with personal tragedy and sometimes stressful litigation. Jim believes that every client deserves honest and aggressive counsel from an experienced and skilled trial attorney.

Jim began at The Veen Firm, one of the most respected plaintiffs' law firms in San Francisco and all of California. Returning home to San Diego in 2000, he joined the preeminent law firm of Schoville & Arnell, LLP. There, he learned all aspects of complex injury cases, including premises liability, employment, government liability, wrongful death and product liability cases. He helped work-up an automobile product liability case that resulted in a record $369,000,000 jury verdict.

In 2008, Jim joined the Gomez Law Firm, obtaining several jury verdicts in excess of $1 million—each in a unique area of the law, including the first application of the elder abuse laws to an arm's-length real estate transaction. Due to his repeated success, the firm was re-named Gomez Iagmin Trial Attorneys in 2013.

In 2014, Jim partnered with his friend and colleague Jon Williams to form Williams Iagmin LLP. Rather than delegating cases to junior attorneys, Jim and John personally handle all of their clients’ cases.

Review James S. Iagmin

Highly recommended, great attorneys

Jim Iagmin and his team were great! I suffered a very serious abdominal injury in a car crash. I hired Mr. Iagmin and his team after my previous attorneys did not work out (they were very impersonal and high volume). Mr. Iagmin and his team expertly prepared our case for trial and, as a result, I received an excellent settlement. Mr. Iagmin and team are highly professional, intelligent, and compassionate. They went out of their way to find a medical specialist to help me with my ongoing accident-related health issues. I highly recommend Mr. Iagmin and his firm.

I suffered serious injuries when I was hit by a distracted driver, who ran off the road. Unsure of what to do, I called a friend who’s an attorney to see if he had any advice. He recommended working with Jim Iagmin, and told me that if his wife were in a similar situation, that is who he would hire. I am so glad I took his advice! Jim Iagmin literally did all the work, and I received an excellent settlement. I highly recommend Mr. Iagmin and his firm. Not only is he a top shelf attorney, he is easy to work and a really great guy.

Jim Iagmin and his team were great! I suffered a serious hand injury when a piece of a hotel’s chandelier fell at my high school dance. Mr. Iagmin guided us through hard fought litigation and we received an excellent settlement. His team was extremely friendly and I felt comfortable the entire time through the process. I highly recommend Mr. Iagmin and his firm.

Jim Iagmin and his team were great! I suffered a back injury following a car crash on the freeway. Mr. Iagmin and Ms. Bouslaugh made a claim and, when one of the insurance companies would not pay, they filed a lawsuit. They took their time and care every step of the way and took all of the stress I anticipated out of the lawsuit. They treated me like family throughout the process and we received a great settlement. I highly recommend Mr. Iagmin and his team to anyone with a serious injury case.

I had a complex case that could have taken several years to resolve. James was able to resolve the case in less than a year and recovered the maximum possible settlement. He is extremely professional and so intelligent that he is always several steps ahead of opposing counsel. He is not only an impressive attorney but also a fantastic human being. Highly recommended!!

Jim Iagmin did an excellent job. I was hit by an un-insured driver and suffered a serious neck injury. Jim treated me like family throughout the claims process and helped me get a UM policy limits settlement. I highly recommend Mr. Iagmin to anyone who has been seriously injured by someone else.

Jim Iagmin and co-counsel Carree Nahama, did an awesome job. I suffered a catastrophic injury in an off-road accident. Mr. Iagmin and Ms. Nahama brought a difficult product liability case. Throughout the process, they treated me like family and helped me get a great settlement. I highly recommend Mr. Iagmin and Ms. Nahama to anyone with a serious injury case.

I was lucky enough to be referred to Mr. Iagmin after I suffered injuries in an auto accident. He and his team are thorough, professional, patient, organized, dedicated, supportive, informative, and all around outstanding! I never felt like I was just another client or a burden, and Mr. Iagmin tailored his approach to my needs, as well as my personality. That's a gift you just don't see often anymore. I couldn't be more pleased with his handling of my case and the settlement he orchestrated for me. I will be forever grateful!

Mr. Iagmin and his team did an excellent job. I suffered an aggravation of a previous neck injury in a car accident. Mr. Iagmin and his team understood my injuries and how to present the case. They were very thorough and efficient. Mr. Iagmin and his team worked hard and we recovered the insurance policy limits.

An extremely motivated, honest, caring, and intelligent attorney who works hard for the clients rights. He keeps up with the law by attending law seminars on a regular basis. I wholeheartedly recommend this attorney.

Ross Jurewitz, Personal injury Attorney on Jul 25, 2012
Relationship: Worked together on matter

James (I know him as Jim) is a tremendously skilled lawyer and partner at one of the best personal injury law firms in San Diego and California. He is a slight man with a warm heart but is absolutely dogged in his determination and support of his clients. He is a strong advocate and fights hard for his clients.

Steven Gnau, Personal injury Attorney on May 5, 2011
Relationship: Worked together on matter

I have known Mr. Iagmin since 1999 and have followed his career regularly since. He is one of the most well rounded personal injury litigators in Southern California with in-depth knowledge not only of the law, but the underlying factors that can complicate injuries cases such as insurance coverage, indemnity, and apportionment. I highly endorse him.

Gregory Cartwright, Personal injury Attorney on Apr 26, 2011
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Jim Iagmin has a well deserved reputation for not only obtaining outstanding results for his clients, but also for being an extremely hardworking, smart and effective trial attorney. His commitment to the highest standards of professionalism and ethics goes unsurpassed. These are not only my views, but the views of the broader San Diego legal community which has recognized Jim's unique talents several times in awarding him various honors and awards -- all of which he deserves. His focus on representation in the area of personal injury exclusively has served his clients well in the past, and any future client will be equally well served by this outstanding attorney. I know that he has obtained truly amazing jury verdicts and settlements for his clients, and I would not hesitate a moment to refer a close friend or family member to Jim to handle any personal injury matter.
