James Coleman, fondly known as Jimmy, is the King himself. He was born and raised in Walker County, Alabama. The son of a coal miner with one brother, four sisters, and a niece who lived with them. Jimmy has been serving the people of Jasper and surrounding areas his whole life. In elementary school he attended Central Elementary, that later became Jasper Junior High. His formative high school years were spent at Walker High School, later to be known as Jasper High, where, as an accomplished athlete he played football, baseball, wrestling and basketball. And he’s an Eagle Scout. Speaking of being an athlete, Jimmy has completed 7 full marathons, dozens of 10k races, and has ridden thousands of cycling miles in and out of competition.

After high school, Jimmy attended the University of Alabama where he was pre-med and earned his B.S. in Biology in 1973. He also earned sufficient credits to qualify for degrees in Chemistry and English. During that time, he worked as a clinical laboratory and x-ray technologist. While in law school, also at the University of Alabama, Jimmy excelled as a legal student. His sharp mind for the law earned him top grades in numerous courses like Legal Ethics, Worker’s Compensation, Labor Law and Torts. He won awards including top scores in the school’s Moot Court competition. Mr. King graduated with his J.D. from Alabama in 1976, and that year passed the bar exam, becoming the first lawyer in the entirety of his family’s history.

Jimmy started his career with a local lawyer, Robert T. Wilson. 18 months after beginning his practice, Jimmy made partner at the new Wilson & King, and the history of The King Firm officially began. In 2026, Jimmy began his 50th year in the practice of law. He’s seen dozens of attorneys and partners come and go. But in all that time, the name King has stood resolute as a beacon of justice for its clients in Alabama. He has been a leading strategic innovator in plaintiff representation in Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, Tennessee, and Virginia. In his 50 years of practice, Jimmy has won over $300 million for his clients, and his work continues to this day.

Jimmy is the husband to the lovely Nicole King. He has four beautiful daughters, Tara, Ryan, McKenzie, Hannah. He also has 3 grandchildren who are his pride and joy. Jimmy is a voracious reader and lover of history, poetry, and biblical study.

In August 2025, Hunter joined The King Firm as a law clerk where he quickly immersed himself in the world of personal injury. As an Alabama native, hailing from Limestone County, he is very familiar with the small-town feel of Jasper. You might say Walker County feels a bit like home.

His background in hard work started at home, where, as the son of an auto mechanic, he learned to show up, be straightforward, and take care of people. And he’s got a wide range of real-world experience to back it up including aerospace industrial quality control, financial administration for a medical magazine, and a youth soccer coach.
