About

I represent individuals, children, and families who have suffered a serious personal injury or who have lost a loved one due to negligence, recklessness, malice, or greed. I do not represent insurance companies, corporations, or government entities. I believe in the jury system. Juries have an opportunity to make our society safer and better. Substantial jury verdicts not only compensate the victims of negligence, but they  make the guilty take responsibility for their actions. I believe that representing my clients zealously is only part of my job.  I believe that caring for my clients and listening to them is equally important.  I often spend time with my clients outside the office. I am a Board Certified Trial Lawyer.  I earned an AV Preeminent Rating from Martindale-Hubbell, the highest rating Martindale-Hubbell gives. In 2011-16 the National Trial Lawyers Association named me one of the Top 100 Trial Lawyers in New Mexico.  In 2014-16, I was named a Super Lawyer. In 2014, I graduated from the Gerry Spence Trial Lawyers College.  I rountinely incorporate psychodrama into my law practice.   If you have been seriously injured or if you have lost a loved due to another's negligence or wrongdoing, I would be honored to represent you. In 2015, my son, Thomas, joined the law firm.  Thomas is fast becoming an outstanding trial lawyer.

James (Jim) Wood is everything you could possibly wish and hope for in a legal representative-he is knowledgeable, experienced, trustworthy, ethical, experienced, supportive...top notch all the way and I know he is the very best choice in my case. Mr. Wood has always been very flexible and supportive, his staff has gone above and beyond to meet my personal and professional needs during this very stressful and trying time in my life. I would absolutely recommend Mr. Wood and his firm to anyone who needs excellent professional legal representation.

I would recommend James Wood. He has made sure I understand the legal process during my case and has kept me informed. He has been supportive and available whenever I have needed him which has given me peace of mind. He has been responsive to my needs during my lawsuit and has made me feel that he cares about me as a person not just a client.

I think he seems like he is gonna be a really good lawyer. I had an appointment with him and he didn't even have to come and meet me but he took the time out of his day to come meet me and explain my case. So far he seems really caring, trusting and educated!:) look forward to working with him! Team Brianna!!

My surgery was botched by the physician, nearly ending my life, and the hospital's standard of after-surgery care was deemed inadequate. James H. Wood was hired to represent me in the resulting lawsuit against both parties. In the year spent developing the case, Jim constantly exhibited his vast experience, his superb knowledge of the law and his skill at developing strategy. Throughout this process he made certain that I understood everything and he actively solicited my input on evidence, witnesses and strategy. He wanted me comfortable with it all. Trial was scheduled but the doctor, faced with overwhelming evidence against him, settled the suit satisfactorily. The hospital, with a reputation of never settling, also capitulated with a settlement. Taking everything into consideration, Jim did a masterful job of making the case, while at the same time showing me and everyone involved he was a "gentleman lawyer." Five stars are not enough to score Jim Wood's work.
