Biography

James B. Greer is a founding partner of Randall | Greer PLLC, a Dallas commercial litigation boutique. He represents national banks, Fortune 500 companies, business executives, and defrauded investors in high-stakes commercial disputes, concentrating on financial services litigation, complex commercial disputes, and oil and gas litigation. Best Lawyers has recognized him in Commercial Litigation since 2024—a recognition that rests entirely on peer review by lawyers in the same region and practice area.

He has tried cases to verdict in state and federal courts, defended bet-the-company class actions and multidistrict litigation for national banks, arbitrated commercial disputes to final award, and argued the resulting appeals, including affirmances in the Fifth Circuit and Texas's Fifth Court of Appeals. He has also prosecuted receivership, fraud-recovery, and fiduciary claims for financial institutions and defrauded investors, including as court-appointed special litigation counsel for a Chapter 7 trustee.

James built a litigation practice national in reach before co-founding Randall | Greer in November 2012. He earned his J.D. from Baylor University School of Law and his B.A., magna cum laude, from Millsaps College, and clerked for the Hon. Joe J. Fisher, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Texas.
