TOMMY JAMES
Tommy’s practice focuses on cases where children, the elderly, the mentally ill and those with special needs have died or been seriously injured as the result of abuse or neglect. These cases have been against state agencies, local government agencies, private entities and their employees. By focusing primarily on these types of cases, Tommy has gained expertise in this very specialized area of the law involving difficult immunity, coverage and other issues. Tommy’s efforts have resulted in recoveries, both settlements and verdicts, totaling over $15 million during the last few years. In addition to his abuse and neglect cases, Tommy also handles other types of wrongful death and personal injury cases against government and corporate entities. Mr. James was previously a partner in the firm of Jemison, Mendelsohn & James in Montgomery, Alabama.
Tommy received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Auburn University in 1993. He later graduated from the University of Alabama School of Law in 1997, where he was a Senior Editor of the Alabama Law Review. He is a member of the Alabama State Bar, the Birmingham Bar Association, and the Alabama and American Associations for Justice. Tommy is also on the Advisory Board of the Alabama Family Trust.
