About James
James Parr practices law in Illinois and is part of the team at Mike Agruss Law. He appears for clients across the firm's offices and handles day-to-day responsibilities that arise in civil practice. He brings a steady, methodical approach to case work and to the procedural demands of litigation.
Parr's academic path began at Concordia University–Wisconsin, where he completed a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts and Sciences, General Studies and Humanities in 2005. He went on to earn his Juris Doctor from the University of Illinois–Chicago in 2012. Those years provided classroom training and practical legal education that shaped his early work habits and legal perspective.
After law school, Parr moved into practice in Illinois. He joined Mike Agruss Law, where he has worked across the firm's multiple offices. His responsibilities have included drafting pleadings, preparing motions, and supporting trial preparation. He also spends time on client interviews and case strategy meetings, translating complex legal questions into clear options for those he represents.
Colleagues describe him as practical in briefing and focused in the courtroom. Parr handles the procedural and substantive tasks that keep a civil case moving: research, evidence review, discovery oversight and argument drafting. He is comfortable in the cadence of litigation, where deadlines and procedural rules shape every step of a matter. That steady handling of litigation mechanics is a consistent part of his practice.
He continues to practice at Mike Agruss Law, working across the firm's offices in Illinois. His work centers on litigation and client representation in the civil arena.
