Jim Horne was born in Osaka, Japan but his family moved to Washington State when he was six months old. The rest of his life has been spent in the Northwest. He grew up in Parkland, near Tacoma, attended Gonzaga University (go Zags!) in Spokane as an undergraduate, and received his J.D. from Willamette University School of Law in Salem, Oregon. He joined GTH in 2008.
Jim has extensive federal and state trial and appellate experience in a wide range of civil litigation matters, having served as defense counsel in product liability claims involving asbestos, prescription medications, naturopathic compounds, medical devices, sports safety helmets and other products. He also has considerable experience with building and construction defect claims on behalf of contractors, building owners and occupants as well as fire loss and property damage claims, including business interruption, loss of use, and loss of access claims.
Someday, Jim is planning to take his wife and two children on a trip to Italy, Iceland or Israel. Or maybe all three. And yes, all of these places start with the same letter; he’s working his way through the alphabet.
