Biography

Michael Jordan joined the Law Offices of James Scott Farrin in 2001 and became a Partner in 2002. Based in Durham, North Carolina, he represents individuals and families across the state in matters involving Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs. His work includes helping clients with personal injury claims, workers’ compensation, eminent domain matters, products liability, medical malpractice, mass tort litigation, and other injury-related claims.

Mike earned his Juris Doctor from North Carolina Central University School of Law and his Bachelor of Arts in Journalism from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. While at UNC, he wrote for The Daily Tar Heel and the UNC Journalist, developing strong research and communication skills that continue to inform his approach to legal advocacy.

Throughout his career, Mike has remained focused on providing practical guidance and responsive representation to clients facing serious injuries and financial uncertainty. He is committed to helping individuals understand their legal options and navigate the claims process with clarity and care.

“The most rewarding aspect of practicing law is seeing the positive difference you can make in the lives of people who are suffering. I believe the practice of law is an opportunity to help others,” Mike says. “That perspective was shaped early in my life by my parents and strengthened by my faith.”
