About Jim Magner

Jim has been practicing law in Virginia for over 20 years. He worked in government affairs for the trucking industry and enrolled in law school with the intention to get higher pay as a lobbyist. He discovered that he loves the law and loves practicing law. Jim started as a trademark, construction law and civil litigator. When the dot-com industry went bust and the real estate market took off, Jim moved to Virginia Beach where he built a practice around construction law and civil litigation. He moved back to his roots in Northern Virginia in 2008. He continued to stretch by handling almost every kind of case, including complex business litigation, eminent domain, personal injury and injured worker cases, school board appeals, criminal cases, and even a couple of admiralty cases. Jim earned a reputation as a hard nose litigator who’s not afraid to take on the difficult cases.
