THE FOUNDER

About James Friauf

James’s hobbies include rattling off obscure movie quotes and tormenting the office staff with various electronic gadgets. If you haven’t seen Star Wars, don’t tell him. A self-proclaimed nerd, James used to be a robot himself. After graduating from Middle Tennessee State University and the University of Richmond, T.C. Williams School of Law, James began his legal career representing large corporations and insurance companies at prominent law firms in East and West Tennessee before serving as Labor Counsel to the United States Army. Fortunately, James has re-claimed his humanity and now devotes both his practice and his life to a cause he holds near and dear to his heart: “Helping Everyday People and Those Who Serve Everyday People.” With a passion for employment law and civil rights litigation, James is more than a voice for the voiceless; he recognizes the power of letting people speak for themselves. Simply put, James is definitely someone you want in your corner. You will be hard-pressed to find another person more dedicated to your cause. To put it in his own words, “Since I’ve opened this firm, I’ve never had to ‘work’ a day in my life.”

“Helping Everyday People and Those Who Serve Everyday People.”
