About James Alan
James Alan Flexer earned his J.D. from Tulane University School of Law in 1981 after graduating from Rhodes College in 1978. He began his legal education in the late 1970s and moved into practice at a time of change in the profession. His academic years inform a four-decade career that spans courtroom work, client counseling and transactional matters.
His early career unfolded in the years after law school. He has worked in different settings, representing individuals and businesses. Over time he built a practice that operates across several Tennessee communities. He has maintained a steady presence in Middle Tennessee through offices located in Nashville, Murfreesboro and Columbia.
Flexer’s work has combined litigation and advisory roles. He has prepared filings, argued before trial courts and advised clients on agreements and compliance. That combination of advocacy and counseling has recurred throughout his career. He has handled discrete disputes and longer-running matters that required ongoing legal oversight.
He also remains involved in professional circles. He holds current memberships in professional associations and participates in the local legal community. Those connections keep him engaged with developments in law and procedure. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic lawyer who attends to everyday legal details as well as larger strategic questions.
Clients find that having multiple offices makes his practice accessible across the region. The Nashville location serves metropolitan needs, while the Murfreesboro and Columbia offices provide local access for smaller communities. He balances in-person consultations with written advice and court appearances, arranging his schedule to meet client demands across jurisdictions.
Across decades of practice, Flexer has adapted to changes in procedure, technology and client expectations. He continues to represent individuals and organizations in matters requiring both courtroom experience and transactional knowledge. He currently practices out of offices in Nashville, Murfreesboro and Columbia, maintaining a general practice that spans litigation, counseling and transactional work.
