About James L.
James L. Frederick is an attorney whose career spans more than four decades. He earned a B.A. from Stanford University in 1972 and a J.D. from The University of Texas School of Law in 1978. Those academic roots set the stage for a practice that crosses state and federal lines.
After law school, Frederick entered private practice and over time built a practice that reaches into multiple jurisdictions. He is admitted to the bars of Massachusetts, Texas and Tennessee. He is also admitted to practice before the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. Those admissions have allowed him to represent clients in both trial and appellate settings.
His résumé lists him as Of Counsel at Koufman Law Group, LLC. In that role he provides legal advice, drafts pleadings and briefs, and appears in court as needed. The title reflects a senior position that often combines advisory work with active case involvement. Colleagues describe his approach as steady and methodical; he moves deliberately through statutes and precedent to build arguments.
Frederick’s legal work has centered on litigation and appellate practice. His admissions to a federal district court and a federal court of appeals suggest regular engagement with procedural and substantive issues in complex disputes. He has experience preparing filings for trial courts and for appellate review, and he has guided matters through the distinct demands each stage requires.
Outside direct litigation, he maintains memberships in the State Bar of Massachusetts, the State Bar of Texas and the State Bar of Tennessee. Those memberships reflect an ability to take on matters that span jurisdictions and to advise clients whose needs cross state lines. He has practiced long enough to see shifts in litigation practice and federal procedure, and he applies that perspective to current matters.
Frederick practices in a way that emphasizes careful legal analysis and procedural precision. He now serves of counsel at Koufman Law Group, LLC, where he handles litigation and appellate matters for the firm’s clients.
