Our Story
Learn about our journey from a small practice to one of the region's most respected legal firms
Excellence in Legal Advocacy Since 1998
Premier Legal Solutions was founded by James Wilson and Sarah Mitchell, two experienced attorneys who shared a vision of creating a law firm that would provide exceptional legal representation while maintaining the highest ethical standards and a client-centered approach.
Starting with just four attorneys specializing in corporate law and personal injury, our firm has grown to include over 30 legal professionals with expertise across multiple practice areas. Throughout our growth, we've remained committed to our founding principles of integrity, excellence, and compassionate advocacy.
Today, Premier Legal Solutions is recognized as one of the region's leading law firms, having recovered over $50 million for our clients and maintaining a success rate of 85% in cases that go to trial. Our attorneys are regularly recognized by prestigious legal organizations including Super Lawyers and Best Lawyers in America.
