James B. Eubank

James started his journey at Beasley Allen in 2019. He focuses on cases involving business disputes, securities fraud, bank fraud, insurance fraud, and violations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA).

James was introduced to the legal profession at a young age. His father was a skilled tax attorney who excelled at breaking down complex issues and finding solutions, both in his career and as a father. James learned these skills and discovered he had a similar talent. Today, he holds the prestigious Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent Rating.

He finds it deeply rewarding, both emotionally and spiritually, to advocate for those who have been hurt by someone else’s actions. James’s work at Beasley Allen continues his dedication to serving others, a commitment that began during his time as a prosecutor at the District Attorney’s Office and later the Alabama Securities Commission. One of his most memorable cases involved an Alabama investment advisor who misdirected over $1.2 million from Alabama investors to a man in California claiming to be a movie producer. Instead of funding a film project, the man used the money for personal expenses. Recovering the investment was the most rewarding experience of his career due to its profound impact on the family of one victim who had lost over $500,000. He keeps a thank-you card from the victim in his desk as a reminder of why he does what he does.

James actively participates in the Montgomery County Bar Association (MCBA), contributing to the organization’s Volunteer Lawyers Program. He has also served on the Board of Directors for the MCBA and its Young Lawyers’ Section.

Originally from Mountain Brook, Alabama, he now resides in Pike Road with his wife, Laura, and their two children, Sara and Thomas. They are active members of St. James Methodist Church, where James teaches Sunday School and coaches church-league soccer, and Laura serves on the Board of Trustees. Passionate about the outdoors, James enjoys fly fishing and turkey hunting, finding that these activities help him disconnect from the busy modern world. Sharing these experiences with his children has made them even more rewarding. James also enjoys volunteering at various community organizations, including the Coosa Riverkeeper Advisory Council and the National Wild Turkey Federation (Elmore County Chapter). He has also coached soccer for the American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO) and served as Director of the Montgomery Law Explorers. 

Education

Upon graduating from high school, James was awarded the Hugh Kaul Foundation Scholarship and the Alabama Power Scholarship. He pursued his undergraduate studies at the University of Alabama, earning a bachelor’s degree in History in 2003. James then continued his education at the University of Alabama School of Law, graduating in 2007. During law school, he was actively involved in the Civil Rights Law Students’ Association and the Criminal Law Association. He also volunteered with the Tuscaloosa County Probate Court and Habitat for Humanity, and externed with the Tuscaloosa District Attorney’s Office. 

After law school, James served as a Law Clerk for the Honorable Charles N. Price, Presiding Circuit Judge of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in Montgomery, Alabama. He then gained extensive trial experience working as a Deputy District Attorney in Montgomery County, managing a large caseload of criminal cases, trying numerous cases before judges and juries, and supervising the Civil Asset Forfeiture Division. Later, he served as Associate Counsel and Assistant Attorney General at the Alabama Securities Commission. In these roles, he prosecuted criminal cases, filed civil and administrative actions, and provided legal advice to the Commission. While with the Commission, James was also appointed as Special Assistant United States Attorney to prosecute a securities fraud case in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama.
