Meet Our Attorneys

James R. “Jim” Headley, Esquire

Jim attended the University of South Florida (USF) and graduated in 1997 with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. Following a medical retirement from the US Army in 1999, Jim began helping veterans at the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) organization. Jim handled hundreds of cases for veterans in need of assistance with their Veterans Administration claim for compensation, pension or educational benefits.

In 2003, Jim graduated from the Stetson University College of Law, while simultaneously receiving an MBA from Stetson University School of Business Administration. Following graduation, Jim specialized in Workers’ Compensation and Personal Injury Protection defense. He represented the Florida Department of Children and Families while working for the Florida Attorney General’s office of Children’s Legal Services. He represented the Department in all aspects of removing children from situations in which they were abandoned, abused or neglected.

Since forming Headley Law, P.A. with his brother Scott Headley, Jim has focused primarily on Family Law, Criminal Defense, Personal Injury, Will Preparation and Social Security Disability. Jim has taken cases outside of these focused areas on a case by case basis throughout the years and enjoys being in court rather than being in the office primarily.
