James Creekmore

Attorney

In 2006, after more than a decade of private practice with prominent Virginia firms, James Creekmore opened The Creekmore Law Firm in Southwest Virginia. The Firm’s practice is balanced between business litigation and business counseling, with particular attention given to the protection and enforcement of its clients’ intellectual property rights. Patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and business agreements such as noncompetition, nondisclosure, nonsolicitation and licensing agreements, as well as other business competition issues, frequently are the focus of the Firm’s client engagements and litigation matters. James and his team spend a lot of time with entrepreneurs and emerging and growing companies helping them understand and navigate the laws that pertain to virtually every aspect of their operation, and helping position them for growth and success in the highly competitive and fast-paced markets in which they exist.

James enjoys an AV certification rating by the Martindale-Hubbell attorney rating system – the highest achievable in both legal ability and ethical standards – and consistently is selected by his peers as one of Virginia’ s “Legal Elite” and as a Virginia “Super Lawyer” in the field of Intellectual Property Law.

A seasoned litigator, James Creekmore thrives in the courtroom.  He has experience litigating in state and federal courts in the Commonwealth of Virginia and throughout the United States.  He has handled litigation involving complex intellectual property, contract, and business disputes.  He has obtained favorable rulings for his client before the Supreme Court of Virginia and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.
