James G. "Jim" Hurley Jr.

Jim Hurley has been practicing injury law throughout Virginia for over two decades. He has tried more than 100 cases and handled hundreds more that were settled out of court. He is guided by the principle that the client is in charge of his or her case and should be kept fully aware of the litigation process.

Jim Hurley and John Cooper set up Cooper Hurley Injury Lawyers in 2011. In recent years the firm appointed a third partner Bill O’Mara and fourth partner Griff O'Hanlon. The firm retains its family friendly focus and does not represent criminal defendants like drunk drivers who hurt our clients.

He is an active member of the Norfolk and Portsmouth Bar Association, the Virginia Beach Bar Association, the American Association for Justice, and the Virginia Trial Lawyers Association.

Jim Hurley is the author of The Best Guide to Virginia Car Accidents and Injuries. He has been awarded an AV Rating by Martindale-Hubbell, the highest rating given, for his practice of law.

Jim Hurley was named in Virginia Super Lawyers every year since 2014. Only 5 percent of attorneys achieve this accolade. He has a 10/10 rating on Avvo, a lawyer assessment agency.
