As a Pittsburgh trial attorney, James Tallman represents people who've been:
-
Injured in an accident or by medical negligence

Mistreated by police or another institution

Wronged in a business dispute

Experienced Pittsburgh Litigation, Handled Personally
At JTT Law, James Tallman takes a different approach to representing clients:
-
Your case stays with James personally
-
You work directly with the attorney whose name is on the firm
-
Cases are not passed down through layers of junior staff
-
James is prepared to file and litigate when a fair result cannot be reached
-
Legitimate cases are evaluated on their individual merits, not simply their size
James became a lawyer to help people, and that's still what shapes how he practices.
James Tallman, On Handling Your Case
"Some firms will work a case up to a point, and the moment it looks like it's not going to settle easily, they refer it out to someone else. They don't want to be the ones filing it and taking it to trial. I do."
Why Direct Attorney Access Matters
Direct attorney access matters because you shouldn't have to settle for less than the attorney you were promised. With 30+ years of experience, James is rare in doing the opposite of most firms: staying personally attached to every case, regardless of size.
That means you're treated as a client, not a file number. The details and nuances of your case don't get lost between staff. You're not hiring three decades of experience only to have the bulk of the work done by someone with less than one, and your case won't get quietly handed off to a junior because it isn't the firm's biggest one.
That matters because of what you're likely carrying already: medical bills, lost income, or the aftermath of mistreatment by an institution, on top of navigating a legal process you've probably never dealt with before. You need to know that the person deciding your case's strategy has actually seen situations like yours, not learning on the job at your expense.
At JTT Law, that person is always James, and he's always the one running your case.
Meet James Tallman, Pittsburgh Trial Attorney
After law school, James spent close to a decade at large commercial litigation firms, representing major companies across all types of complex litigation. It was demanding, high-stakes work, but it left him wanting something more direct: a real connection to the person he was actually helping, rather than an abstract corporate client several layers removed from the case itself.
That's what led him into personal injury work, where he spent the next 12 to 15 years at a prominent Pittsburgh firm, representing individuals for the first time in his career. Civil rights work followed, and it's become something he genuinely enjoys, cases that let him fight directly for someone who's been wronged by an institution rather than another company's balance sheet.
Today, James runs a true solo practice. Every case is handled personally, by the attorney whose name is on the website, not passed to unnamed staff.
