Welcome

Welcome to GIRightsLawyer.com, home of the Law Firm ofJames M. Branum.

Important note: I am currently as maximum capacity for clients and do not anticipate being able to take any new clients until the end of January 2025. If you are currently looking for assistance with a miltiary law issue, I encourage you to contact the GI Rights Hotline or the Military Law Task Force of the National Lawyers Guild for a referral.

I primarily work in the area of military law but also provide assistance to people previously convicted of felonies who wish to become (or stay) licensed as a ham radio operators. I also do a fair bit of legal writing and conduct some trainings on military law topics.

Outside of the law, I also work as writer/editor and as an interfaith minister.
