About

Charles James, a distinguished attorney based in Alabama, is the founding partner of Serious Injury Law Group, a firm dedicated to advocating for the rights of injured individuals. With a robust background that intertwines both criminal prosecution and personal injury law, James has cultivated a reputation for being a fierce advocate for his clients since establishing his practice in 2013. Before launching Serious Injury Law Group, James honed his legal acumen at the renowned law firm of Johnnie Cochran, where he focused on representing those who have suffered injuries. His tenure there equipped him with invaluable insights into effective plaintiff’s representation, and it was during this time that he recognized the need for a law firm that prioritized accessibility and client engagement. “I saw what worked, and things that I would improve on,” he reflects. This insight inspired him to create The Law Offices of Charles James, II, with a commitment to superior service and responsiveness. A Mobile native, James originally aspired to become a sports agent but shifted his focus to law after earning his J.D. from the University of Alabama School of Law in 2002. His experience in the Mobile County District Attorney’s office further solidified his dedication to advocacy, leading him to achieve significant verdicts and settlements for his clients, including a remarkable $1.26 billion case. James' philosophy centers on giving voice to the voiceless, emphasizing the importance of standing up against large insurance companies that often overlook the needs of everyday people. His unwavering dedication to his clients is evident in his readiness to confront any adversary with relentless vigor. “I will, with every fiber of my being, go in every time and give it my all,” he asserts. Beyond his practice, James actively contributes to the legal community through Continuing Legal Education programs and has taken on leadership roles within various legal associations, including serving as past president of the Montgomery County Trial Lawyers Association. He is also engaged in his local community, participating in church activities and supporting initiatives for children with special needs. In his personal life, James enjoys music, grilling, and deep-sea fishing, often traveling with his wife, Lloria Munnerlyn James, who serves as the chief deputy district attorney in Montgomery County. Together, they embody a commitment to both professional excellence and community service, making a significant impact both in and out of the courtroom.
