Biography Overview
Forrest Hood “Fob” James IV is the founder of Fob James Law Firm, LLC, a Birmingham, Alabama–based practice dedicated to representing individuals injured by negligence.

Mr. James is an experienced trial lawyer who focuses primarily on catastrophic personal injury cases and mass tort litigation.

Throughout his career, Mr. James has handled a wide range of complex legal matters, including personal injury claims, fraud litigation, civil theft, shareholder disputes, securities fraud, and FINRA arbitration cases involving registered brokers and broker-dealers. His litigation experience includes trying cases to verdict and managing disputes that often require extensive investigation and long-term legal strategy.
Much of Mr. James’s work comes through referrals from other attorneys who entrust him with challenging cases. He is particularly known for taking on difficult claims that other firms decline, working tirelessly to help injured clients pursue justice, accountability, and meaningful compensation.
