Description | Bar Standing Mr. Bohm is admitted to the State Bar of California, the United States District Court (Central and Southern Districts of California) and to the United States Court of Appeals (9th Circuit). Area of Practice Mr. Bohm enjoys extensive experience in both insurance law and business litigation and has represented Fortune 500 companies in various complex business litigation involving claims related to the acquisition of companies, contract disputes, and wrongful termination claims. He has represented numerous companies in coverage and insurance bad faith disputes. Additional areas of focus include substantial trial experience in business related matters. Trial Experience Mr. Bohm possesses a broad range of extensive trial experience in major cases. Some examples of Mr. Bohm’s verdicts and awards obtained on behalf of his clients have included: Obtained a $2 million award for a Fortune 500 client following an extensive jury trial in Los Angeles Superior Court where claims of over $12 million were brought against that client relating to the divestiture of one of its subsidiaries. Successfully defended a real estate agent alleged to have breached her fiduciary duties to her client by purchasing her client’s prospective property and obtaining a secret profit therefrom. No resulting liability attached to the agent. Obtained a fraud verdict against a publicly traded leasing company in favor of a major wholesale food distributor, in claims relating to the leasing company’s contract and selling practices. This was the first successful lawsuit in over 200 similar cases wherein a verdict against the leasing company was obtained. The leasing company was represented by one of the nation’s top law firms and spent over $5 million in attorney’s fees. Successfully defended a company that was alleged to be a joint venture partner with a debtor company, in an action brought by the debtor company’s creditor, resulting in no liability to the client. Obtained a jury verdict in excess of $300,000 for a property owner client whose property sustained water damage from an adjoining landowner. Obtained a complete defense verdict after a six week jury trial wherein our client, the president of an automobile manufacturing company, was accused of fraud, conversion and securities violations by an investor in and creditor of his company. Plaintiffs sought over $12 million in damages and were represented by a nationally known trial lawyer (who was a lead prosecutor in the government’s case against Ken Lay and Jeffery Skilling of ‘Enron’ fame). It was reported that this attorney had never previously ‘lost a case’. Plaintiffs spent millions of dollars in prosecuting the matter and had up to seven lawyers representing them at trial. Our client had only one lawyer defending the case: James G. Bohm. Education Pepperdine University School of Law, Malibu, California J.D.
