Throughout law school he interned at the Harris County and Galveston County District Attorney’s Offices, ranging from work in misdemeanor courts to vehicular crimes and asset forfeiture.
After law school, James went to work defending citizens accused of crimes for a prominent Houston law firm. He then moved to Austin in 2017, a has been practicing in Travis County and surrounding areas since then.
James is one of a handful of lawyers to achieve the designation of Lawyer-Scientist through the American Chemical Society, which he earned by attending the prestigious Axion forensic training laboratory in Chicago. He has used this knowledge to suppress blood tests and win trials for his clients that stand accused of Driving While Intoxicated. Throughout his ten years of practice James has focused on representing those who cannot stand for themselves against the awesome power of the State. He has tried and won DWI trials across Texas.

"I recently had a case in Travis County that I needed representation for. I read and heard good things so I went in and got to speak with Ben Micheal. After explaining my case, I was told that it could be taken care of. I was lucky to be appointed James Fletcher who would win my case for me. From the first words of confidence from Ben, the weekly correspondence from Liz, and the work my lawyer James Fletcher did I could not be more thankful for or happy with what they did for me from start to finish. Hard to put into words. All the good reviews are true. Thank you all and thank you James."
