Origin
In-House Counsel Experience, Then a Full-Service Employment Litigation Firm
James Weiler earned his J.D. from Loyola University Chicago School of Law in 2009 after a B.S.B.A. from Ohio State University’s Fisher College of Business in 2006, and is admitted to practice in both Arizona and Illinois. Before his current practice, he served as in-house counsel for a subsidiary of a Fortune 1000 company, managing litigation portfolios, commercial transactions, internal investigations, and compliance matters — corporate-side experience distinct from a career built entirely in plaintiff-side practice. He founded Weiler Law PLLC in 2014. An honesty note, stated plainly: the firm’s own homepage explicitly invites both employers and employees to call, and Mr. Weiler’s bio describes gaining “unique insights into both the Plaintiff and Defense sides of litigation” — this is a mixed-representation practice, not an employee-exclusive one.
Practice
Employment Litigation Plus a Broader Civil Litigation Practice
The firm’s stated practice centers on employment law — discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, wage and hour, whistleblower retaliation — litigated at the negotiation table, in mediation, or in civil court. Beyond employment matters, Mr. Weiler’s practice extends to personal injury, commercial litigation, construction, product liability, general liability/insurance defense, workers’ compensation, and medical malpractice — a considerably broader litigation practice than a firm focused solely on employment law.
Track Record
The firm states it has “successfully resolved thousands of cases” across state and federal employment law without publishing an itemized, independently verifiable case-result table; no such compilation was located in the sources reviewed for this profile.
Past-Results Disclaimer: Every case is different, and no past result guarantees a similar outcome in any future matter.
Client Voice
Attributed client reviews describe a race-discrimination matter Mr. Weiler took on contingency that settled after EEOC mediation, with the client describing him and his team as “very professional” and “very knowledgeable,” and a separate reviewer describing FMLA consultation guidance as detailed and useful, grading the experience “A+.” No negative reviews were located in the sources reviewed for this profile; that reflects the public record available, not a claim of a flawless history.
Community
No specific civic or pro bono activity beyond the firm’s direct client practice was independently documented in the sources reviewed for this profile.
Recognition
The firm holds Avvo’s Client’s Choice Award and Martindale-Hubbell Client Champion recognition, both based on client review volume and scores. No Arizona Board of Legal Specialization certification was located for Mr. Weiler in the practice areas covered by this profile, so this profile does not use the word “specialist” to describe him.
The Arizona Legal Backdrop
What follows is general legal information, not legal advice.
Employment discrimination claims run through both federal law (Title VII, the ADA, the ADEA) and Arizona’s own civil rights statute, A.R.S. § 41-1463. Arizona is an at-will employment state, with exceptions under the Arizona Employment Protection Act, A.R.S. § 23-1501. Whistleblower retaliation claims can involve additional protections under both state whistleblower statutes and federal laws depending on the industry and the nature of the disclosure.
The Awesome Attorneys Assessment
Weiler Law’s genuine differentiator is James Weiler’s combined in-house corporate counsel and litigation background, giving the firm a broader civil-litigation bench (personal injury, construction, product liability, medical malpractice) than a firm built purely around employment matters. The honest caveat, stated as plainly as possible: like the Faulkner profile elsewhere in this category, this is not an employee-exclusive practice — the firm’s own marketing explicitly welcomes employer clients as well, so workers seeking counsel with no employer-side conflicts anywhere in the firm should look to the employee-exclusive firms elsewhere in this series.
