James W. Sargent

Much of Jim’s practice focuses on mid-market clients involved in real estate and mortgage loans, asset-based lending and borrowing, and acquisitions and sales of real estate, assets, and stocks. He also represents clients in bankruptcy, troubled-debt restructuring, and personal and real property foreclosures. In every matter, Jim identifies the client’s sensitivity to specific pain points and introduces creative solutions to reduce or eliminate that pain.

Beyond his legal knowledge and practical experience, Jim is a man of integrity, personal commitment, and courage in the face of adversity – traits he attributes to his years as a U.S. Marine (imagine going through Officer Candidate School with the last name Sargent). He continues his service through pro bono work with Texas Lawyers for Texas Veterans and the Dallas Volunteer Attorney Program’s Veterans Legal Clinic.
