James grew up in a small town in North Carolina, where he learned to value hard work and commitment. He attended college at 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.. James attended law school at the University of Georgia, where he received his Juris Doctor in law. Because of his strong medical and science background, his first job in law was with a medical malpractice defense firm in Atlanta, Georgia. James soon learned that representing doctors and insurance companies was not a very good fit for someone who favored the individual over large corporations. Time and again James was on the side of the corporation that trampled over the individuals’ rights and found himself in conflict with his personal values.. Determined to use what he had learned from working with some of the best insurance defense lawyers in the country to help individuals rather than insurance companies, James opened his own law firm in his native state of North Carolina in 1994. Since then, James has represented thousands of injured people against insurance companies.. In 2010 James fulfilled a long-time goal by coming to Alaska and making it his home. He began assisting with commercial litigation cases, but it was not long before his preference for helping individuals over corporations compelled him to open another law firm to help injured people.. The Crowson Law Group opened its doors for the first time in 2011. Since then, hundreds of Alaskans have turned to James for help with their injury cases, and the Crowson Law Group has already acquired a reputation among insurance companies and their counsel as an able adversary.. Alaska has been good to James professionally, and personally James has quickly seized every opportunity to get the most out of his Alaskan experience. James enjoys skiing, snowmobiling and other outdoor sports. He also has coached high school football for many years. Currently, he coaches at East High School.

After living and practicing law in Alaska for more than twenty years, I moved to California. I am working for G.

I have been an attorney for over 20 years.  I started in 1997 with the Office of Special Prosecutions and Appeals & transferred from there to the Anchorage District Attorney’s Office.  I worked there for 10 years prosecuting every conceivable kind of criminal case from a juvenile matricide/sexual assault to various misdemeanors and everything in between. I have trained young attorneys, taught at law enforcement academies, including the Anchorage Police Department’s Academy and the Trooper Academy, and taught criminalists from the state’s Scientific Crime Detection Laboratory.. In 2006, I served as Acting-Director of the Office of Victims Rights. In 2007, I was appointed to be the Anchorage District Attorney.

After a long and diverse legal career in Washington, D.C. I have joined “Ferree Law” to defend those facing criminal charges.. I received my law degree from Georgetown University Law Center in 1992, graduating summa cum laude and order of the coif.  While at Georgetown, I received the Hugh J. Fegan award for the highest academic average in the class, was a Law Fellow teaching assistant, and was selected to the Georgetown Law Journal based on academic performance.  In addition to my law degree, I have an M.B.A. from San Jose State University, and a B.A. from Dartmouth College.. My path in the law has not been without unexpected turns.  I began my career by clerking for a federal judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, which led naturally upon the termination of my clerkship to a position in the appellate practice at Wilmer Cutler & Pickering of Washington, D.C.  After two years with Wilmer, I took my practice to a small firm called Goldberg, Godles, Wiener & Wright, where I became a partner in 1998.. In 2001, my appellate career was interrupted when I was, by political appointment, named Chief of the Media Bureau at the Federal Communications Commission.  At one point, USA Today suggested that I had "one of the sharpest legal minds in Washington" (). After my political term ended, I served for six months as interim President and CEO of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, overseeing the primary funding mechanism for the public radio and television broadcasting systems in the United States, and then joined the Entertainment and Media Practice Group of Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton LLP as a partner.  For most of the past three years, I served as President and CEO of the Progress & Freedom Foundation, a Washington, D.C. think tank.
