Case Results

James wins.  That may sound trite coming from a trial lawyer, but in this instance, it is simply true.  Indeed, James’ record speaks for itself.

James, in tandem with Brett Slavicek, has achieved over $200 million in verdicts and settlements for clients.¹  In 2024, he and Brett obtained a $90 million verdict, the largest personal injury verdict in Arizona’s history.  To date, James and Brett as a team have achieved 4 eight-figure verdicts and settlements for clients.  Seven-figure verdicts and settlements are voluminous.

Perhaps most impressive, every case James has tried as a plaintiff’s attorney has resulted in a jury verdict in excess of both the Defendant’s and Plaintiff’s settlement offers. Yes, you read that correctly — in every jury trial, a verdict greater than not only the amount the Defendant was willing to pay, but also the amount for which Plaintiff was willing to settle was achieved. Indeed, it is a basic formula to which James and The Slavicek Law Firm subscribes:  Give the Defendant an opportunity to settle the case for a fair amount and if the Defendant refuses, make them pay (figuratively and literally) at trial.

¹The firm itself has achieved over $600 million in resolutions.
