Dallas and Collin County Business Litigation and Personal Injury Attorney

OVER $100 MILLION IN VERDICTS, JUDGMENTS AND SETTLEMENTS

At the Law Offices of James R. Tucker, P.C., the vast majority of legal work is done for plaintiffs — people who have been harmed by another's actions. I help plaintiffs move forward with their lives by collecting compensation for the harm they have suffered.

The lawsuits I handle are against businesses and individuals who have caused harm. These include employers who engage in unfair and illegal employment practices, credit card companies that use the fine print against their customers and landowners who fail to warn guests about potential harms.

I handle personal injury cases with one goal in mind: Doing the right thing for injury victims. This is the principle on which I have built my career and the way that I continue to handle each case I take on.

I have the resources necessary to achieve the best possible results in a wide range of cases, including products liability cases, medical malpractice, gas field and oil well accidents, credit card fraud, securities fraud and business litigation.

I handle these cases on contingency, which means that I put up my own money to handle your case. I cover all expenses upfront and do not collect attorney's fees unless I recover compensation for you through a settlement or a favorable jury verdict. This means that you do not have to worry about affording legal representation. It also means that you can trust that I will do the best possible job for you because I am invested in your case.

In more than 30 years of legal representation, I have developed a reputation for the best possible results. I am AV-rated under Martindale-Hubbell's peer review rating system and am a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, an elite group of trial lawyers made up of 1 percent of attorneys who have recovered million- or multimillion-dollar jury verdicts for their clients.
