James grew up in a small town in North Carolina, where he learned to value hard work and commitment. He attended college at North Carolina State University, where he received degrees in Biochemistry and Zoology. James originally planned to attend medical school, but discovered, toward the end of his college career, that he had an aptitude and a love for the law.
James attended law school at the University of Georgia, where he received his Juris Doctor in law. Because of his strong medical and science background, his first job in law was with a medical malpractice defense firm in Atlanta, Georgia. James soon learned that representing doctors and insurance companies was not a very good fit for someone who favored the individual over large corporations. Time and again James was on the side of the corporation that trampled over the individuals’ rights and found himself in conflict with his personal values.
Determined to use what he had learned from working with some of the best insurance defense lawyers in the country to help individuals rather than insurance companies, James opened his own law firm in his native state of North Carolina in 1994. Since then, James has represented thousands of injured people against insurance companies.
In 2010 James fulfilled a long-time goal by coming to Alaska and making it his home. He began assisting with commercial litigation cases, but it was not long before his preference for helping individuals over corporations compelled him to open another law firm to help injured people.
The Crowson Law Group opened its doors for the first time in 2011. Since then, hundreds of Alaskans have turned to James for help with their injury cases, and the Crowson Law Group has already acquired a reputation among insurance companies and their counsel as an able adversary.
Alaska has been good to James professionally, and personally James has quickly seized every opportunity to get the most out of his Alaskan experience. James enjoys skiing, snowmobiling and other outdoor sports. He also has coached high school football for many years. Currently, he coaches at East High School.

Great Group of People
I would highly recommend the Crowson Law Group. It was one of the worst days of my life; I got a call from paramedics that my 3 children were in a car accident and I needed to get to them asap. It crippled me as a parent and I was lost in the emotion and caring for my kids. As a blessing to me, I rec...

excellent lawyer
I got injured in January 25 2015 in Fort Richardson base while delivering food. For some time after that, I did not have a lawyer to pursue my claims for medical and pain and suffering damages. So I met the lawyer James W. Crowson and his staff, I put my case in their hands and in less than a year ...
"I did some work for Jim on a maritime personal injury/longshore claim. He is very knowledgeable and a terrific advocate. I highly recommend him!"
"I endorse this lawyer. James is compassionate advocate for his clients. He goes above and beyond to ensure they receive just compensation for their injuries. He really levels the playing field in his fight to make the insurance companies pay fair compensation to his clients."
"James Crowson and the lawyers at Crowson Law Group are highly skilled advocates with special expertise in representing car accident victims and efficiently obtain excellent results on a consistent basis. Mr Crowson has a well earned reputation as an excellent negotiator and as a gentleman who never forgets that it is a privilege to provide legal services to assist those who have been harmed."
"Before coming to work with Mr. Crowson, I had the opportunity to defend several cases against personal injury claims filed by the Crowson Law Group. James and his staff were professional, polite and easy to work with in my evaluation and eventual ability to ultimately settle the claims. I highly recommend and endorse this attorney."
"James Crowson is a hard working, intelligent lawyer with a great deal of experience in the field of personal injury and property damage. He knows how insurance companies operate and he know how to deal with them on behalf of Alaska citizens. I recommend Mr. Crowson for Alaskans who have suffered injury or property loss."
