James L.

Liggins Jr.

My greatest attribute manifests in my ability to build strong personal relationships. I’m very good at reading the room and tailoring my approach to my audience. In a courtroom setting, as I present my litigation strategy, my emotional intelligence provides a great advantage — I know how to connect with people in a way that makes me very persuasive.
