James Jenkins Mills

I am a litigator and practice in two primary areas: severe personal injury and estate-related litigation. On the personal injury side, I have helped hundreds of clients receive (in total) millions and millions of dollars. On the estate litigation side, I have pursued and defended will caveats, trust disputes, life insurance beneficiary disputes, and all sorts of other matters related to inheritance issues. I handle these claims on both an hourly basis and a contingency-fee basis, depending on the nature of the case and the client's preferences. Again, I have successfully recovered many millions of dollars for my clients. In 2002, I began work for Troutman Sanders LLP - one of the oldest and largest firms in Atlanta, Georgia. In 2007, I moved to Raleigh, North Carolina to be closer to family and friends, and began working at my current firm, Burns, Day & Presnell P.A.. I became a partner here in 2010. I am married, have two kids, and enjoy playing golf and fishing. I offer free initial consultations on all legal matters, so feel free to me regarding any legal issue you may have. If I cannot assist you for any reason, I can almost always find an attorney who can.
