Attorney Jim Davis

Jim Davis is a trial attorney. Admitted to practice law in 2000, he is a tireless, zealous, advocate for his clients. Attorney Davis prosecutes and defends complex civil claims in both state and federal court.

Jim has recovered millions of dollars for his clients in personal injury, wrongful death, medical malpractice and construction defect cases.

Jim is driven by a simple principle: caring. To Jim, it is the most vital pursuit in life: you must care about yourself, your clients, your work, and your family.

There are no shortcuts to winning cases. Securing substantial financial recoveries requires intentional listening to our clients’ goals, meticulous legal analysis, and exhaustive preparation. By aligning your core values with those of the jury, we shift their perspective from “lawsuits are bad” to “justice demands a full financial recovery.” Whether handling personal injury, medical malpractice, wrongful death, or complex construction disputes, or corporate litigation, we help jurors to align their values with yours – to care about you.

When not working, Jim enjoys spending time with his wife Susanne and their two sons, Henry and Grayson. A pilot and aviation enthusiast, Jim holds a FAA Instrument Pilot Multiengine Certificate and has logged over 1000 hours pilot-in-command in a Beach Bonanza A36 and Baron B55. Jim also holds the United States Securities and Exchange Commission Series 7, 63 and 8 securities broker’s licenses (inactive).

Kim’s extensive experience in law and management continues to be a vital contribution to firm’s successes in our catastrophic injury, medical malpractice, wrongful death, sexual assault and complex high-net worth divorce cases.

She is a South Carolina native and lived in the Upstate until 2008, when she moved with her family to Charleston.

Kim spent the next 13 years working in marketing and public relations for performing arts organizations and especially enjoyed managing public relations for events at The Peace Center for over a decade.

Returning to the legal field felt natural when she joined the J Davis Law Firm in 2020. In her spare time, Kim enjoys mountain biking, cooking, practicing yoga and spending time with friends and family.
