Attorney James Bostwick Honored in 2026 Best Lawyers Edition for Exceptional Legal Expertise
James Bostwick, the founding attorney at Bostwick & Associates, has once again earned recognition in the prestigious 2026 edition of The Best Lawyers in America®, marking an impressive 32nd release of this influential publication. Bostwick has been distinguished for his expertise in both Medical Malpractice Law for Plaintiffs and Personal Injury Litigation for Plaintiffs. His consistent inclusion in this celebrated compilation since its inception in 1983 is a testament to his exceptional skill and dedication, a privilege only a select few attorneys throughout the United States share.
In both 2012 and 2013, Bostwick was honored with the title of 'Lawyer of the Year' by Best Lawyers specifically for his work in Medical Malpractice Law within the San Francisco area. This accolade not only underscores his prowess in the legal arena but also exemplifies the high regard in which he is held by his peers. The Best Lawyers in America publication utilizes a Purely Peer Review® methodology, which ranks attorneys based on extensive evaluations from leading legal professionals. Out of over 26 million evaluations this year alone, merely 5% of lawyers in the U.S. received this coveted recognition, reflecting the tremendous selectivity and trust associated with this listing.
"It’s a tremendous honor to have my work recognized by Best Lawyers in America® for more than four decades," exclaimed James Bostwick. "I am profoundly grateful for the opportunity to support individuals who are navigating the aftermath of severe, life-altering injuries. It’s my mission to guide them through their darkest times and advocate fiercely for the compensation they deserve."
Widely recognized as one of the foremost authorities in medical malpractice and personal injury litigation, Bostwick has developed a reputation for being a leading specialist in complicated malpractice cases. His record-setting verdicts and settlements have left a significant mark not just in California, but across the entire United States. His status is further affirmed by his membership in exclusive, invitation-only organizations such as the Inner Circle of Advocates—a group limited to the top 100 plaintiff trial lawyers nationwide—and the International Academy of Trial Lawyers, where he served as president in 2003, restricted to just 500 of the country’s most esteemed plaintiff and defense trial lawyers.
Moreover, Bostwick is an esteemed member of the American Board of Trial Advocates, recognizing his commitment to trial advocacy and excellence within the legal field. His contributions to the legal community continue to set benchmarks, ensuring that his clients receive the highest standard of representation possible.
