About

I live in Hillsborough with my wife and daughter.  I am an avid runner and have run multiple marathons.  You can hear me as the host of the local radio show "True Bill" on WHUP 104.7, where I interview people associated with the court system and spin the records they want to hear.

I used the Coleman law firm, James Rainsford, as my attorney for a negligence case in 2014. He was very informative throughout the process and extremely patient with me as I was a lawyer's nightmare as a client. The firm as a whole has a wonderful team; I highly recommend Coleman, Gledhill, Hargrave, Merritt & Rainsford law firm for competent and thorough representation in any legal issue you might have. This firm is result driven and they stand by their commitment which was demonstrated through their actions in my case. The outcome was outstanding. Thank you, James Rainsford and Coleman, Gledhill, Hargrave, Merritt & Rainsford law firm.

I hired James Rainsford when he was referred to me by one of Greensboro's top attorneys. I was scared and felt defeated already. My case seemed doomed. Once I began to work with Mr. Rainsford, he strategically untangled all the parts and pieces little by little. He knew that timing was everything. While he was realistic about a possible adverse outcome, he encouraged me to be patient and positive. He built a strong arguement that was game -changing despite what my case looked like at first glance. My charge was dismissed and my life was put back together. It's better than ever, actually. I highly recommend and trust Mr. Rainsford and his team... 100% Hands Down would hire him agaiin!

I had the pleasure of hiring James on two occasions and both times he exceeded my expectations. He worked well with all the attorneys involved in the first case and he was a key figure in getting me a great settlement in a personal injury case. His expertise with insurance companies was a key factor. The second case was a very simple case involving a citation but he was very thorough and was able to resolve the issue to my satisfaction. I truly believe he has a great future ahead of him. He is very personable, intelligent and hard working.

When a distracted driver crossed the center line and crashed head on into our vehicle, the lives of me and my husband were forever changed. My injuries were severe and resulted in multiple surgeries and a lengthy hospital and recovery period. We hired James as we felt unequipped to deal with the paperwork and questions from the various medical and automobile companies. James took the time to not only investigate the wreck but to know us personally and understand how this traumatic event had affected our lives. He and his staff were always friendly, courteous and available to answer our many questions. Having James and his team working for us gave us peace of mind which allowed me to concentrate my energy on healing instead of worrying. James negotiated a great settlement without having to put us through a lengthy court process. We are very appreciative of the work he did for us and recommend him as a skilled, honest and caring attorney.
