James Matthew Brown
About James
Biography
Very few attorneys can offer clients the trial expertise and painstaking preparation that Jim and his legal team bring to a case. For this reason, it is not surprising that Jim is often asked to take cases referred to him by other lawyers. With a solid understanding of complex courtroom strategies, Jim is able to make breakthroughs that other attorneys cannot. He never backs down from a challenge or compromises on case preparation. Every client is treated with personal attention, compassion and professionalism, and given open and honest communication about their case at all times.
Respect in the Legal Community
Other personal injury lawyers, judges, or former clients and their families all speak highly of the knowledge, expertise and resources Jim brings to his cases. The majority of Jim’s cases are referred by other attorneys or past clients, because they trust Jim to treat their referrals with the highest standards of professionalism, and ultimately obtain a fair resolution. Jim devotes his life to his practice, whether he’s fighting for someone devastated by a catastrophic spinal chord injury, or helping a grieving family obtain justice in a wrongful death claim. Jim has received multiple awards and accolades for his work, including:
