Biography

James Luster is a seasoned criminal defense attorney and partner at Cofer Luster Law Firm. Before dedicating his career to defending the accused, James honed his skills as a prosecutor in the Lubbock and Tarrant County District Attorney’s Offices. During his tenure, he served as lead counsel on cases ranging from misdemeanor DWI to high-stakes felonies, including Continuous Sexual Assault, Aggravated Robbery, and Murder.

While serving in Tarrant County’s Family Violence Unit, James focused on domestic assault cases, gaining invaluable experience in some of the most sensitive and complex areas of criminal law. This experience, combined with handling thousands of cases spanning juvenile and adult misdemeanors and felonies, has made James a battle-tested advocate in the courtroom.

As a criminal defense attorney in Fort Worth, James stands out for his unwavering commitment to his clients. From the very first meeting, he brings a calm, confident, and strategic approach, giving clients the reassurance that they have a true ally on their side. His dedication to winning begins at the moment he takes on a case, ensuring his clients receive effective, results-driven representation every step of the way.

James’s passion for justice was sparked during his time at Abilene Christian University, where he was inspired by attorneys from International Justice Mission (IJM). Their work rescuing the most vulnerable from systems of oppression showed James the power of the legal profession to create meaningful change.

Today, James channels that same passion into helping those who feel like all hope is lost. Whether his clients are facing false allegations or overwhelming odds, James provides them with the support and skilled defense they need to reclaim their future.
