James Lee Williams Jr.

I am an attorney and mediator with broad experience in transactional work and civil litigation. My practice spans areas such as contracts, employment law, business representation, insurance law, contractor law, nonsubscriber matters, real estate, and commercial litigation. My focus has long been on representing businesses and business owners, particularly through Texas outside general counsel services. This includes business law representation, contract drafting and review, business formation, employer representation, human resources consulting, contractor and subcontractor matters, real estate disputes, workplace injury issues, and 3PL/logistics and transportation matters. Additionally, I offer tailored services like litigation management, oversight and consulting, and I serve as a neutral mediator. I also provide Texas local counsel services and Pro Hac Vice assistance. I have handled lawsuits, mediations, hearings, arbitrations, or depositions across over 100 Texas counties, including Tarrant, Dallas, Harris, Travis, Bexar, El Paso, Lubbock, and Midland. My work has also taken me to 17 states, including California, Tennessee, Florida, Illinois, Georgia, Alabama, Michigan, Nevada, and Oklahoma, where I have handled depositions, mediations, or court matters. Additionally, I have attended administrative hearings in approximately 25 towns or cities. I hold an AV Preeminent Rating from Martindale-Hubbell, reflecting the highest peer and judicial recognition from 2015 to 2025. I have also been named a Top Attorney by Fort Worth, Texas Magazine, as voted by peers, nine times for litigation. Recently, I received the Elite Lawyer distinction for excellence in practice for 2025 and 2026. My peer reviews include 50 judicial and attorney reviews, all publicly available online at the Martindale.com Legal Directory, and they reflect 100% favorable ratings. As a fifth-generation Texan and a cancer survivor, I bring my dedication and resilience to every matter I handle.
