James Fitzgerald

Jim Fitzgerald started his law practice in 1975 and founded The Fitzgerald Law Firm in 1982 with the cornerstone belief of finding truth and justice. By focusing exclusively on working with severely injured clients and families who have lost loved ones, Jim has developed a national reputation for delivering extraordinary results, holding the record for the highest number of verdicts ever upheld on appeal in the Wyoming Supreme Court for personal injuries and wrongful death.

With decades of experience, Jim Fitzgerald represents people in complex damages cases in the areas of Products Liability resulting in catastrophic injuries and death, Workplace Liability, Medical Malpractice, Personal Injury, and Wrongful Death.

His trial record includes numerous multi-million-dollar jury awards and several records for jury verdicts and settlements on behalf of his clients. Jim has been trial counsel in nearly half of the million-dollar verdicts in the history of Wyoming. He holds the record for both the largest injury verdict and the largest wrongful death verdict ever upheld on appeal in Wyoming.

Getting large verdicts is one thing. Upholding them on appeal is another, requiring meticulous preparation, finding evidence and presenting it at trial, and a sense of what needs to be in the record of the trial. Jim has devoted much time and energy to building cases that withstand appeal.

Jim has made more than 100 presentations on various trial topics to members of the trial bar throughout the United States and has been an instructor at the Gerry Spence Method since 2000. Jim is one of a distinguished group of attorneys who have been listed in Best Lawyers in America for twenty years or longer.

Over the decades, Jim has adapted to the times to continue to provide top-tier legal services to clients from all over the U.S. and abroad. In 2015 he was joined in practice by his son, Michael, who has brought a new depth of knowledge and ability to the firm.
