James Crowson

Anchorage, AK

Alaska personal injury attorney James Crowson is the founder of Crowson Law Group. James grew up in a small town in North Carolina, where he learned to value hard work and commitment. He attended North Carolina State University, where he received degrees in Biochemistry and Zoology. James originally planned to attend medical school, but discovered, toward the end of his college career, that he had an aptitude and a love for the law. So, James attended law school at the University of Georgia, where he received his Juris Doctor in law. Following graduation, James began his legal career defending insurance companies and health care providers against negligence claims. However, he discovered that he had a passion for helping individuals secure the compensation and benefits they need to support themselves and their families in the wake of a devastating injury or loss, rather than representing doctors or insurance companies. Determined to use what he had learned working for some of the best insurance defense lawyers in the country, James now leverages his past defense experience to benefit accident victims. In 2010 James fulfilled a long-time goal by coming to Alaska and making it his home. In his free time, James enjoys spending time with family and taking part in outdoor activities. A runner-up to his passion for law, is coaching football. James coached at Dimond High School from 2011-2014 and currently coaches at East High School.
