James G. Noucas, Jr. and James C. Noucas
James G. Noucas Jr.
When Jim began practicing law in 1979, he became involved in the asbestos litigation representing federal employees from the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. This led to the representation of federal employees in a variety of employment-related matters. While his practice started with the employees of Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, over the years it has expanded to involve a wide variety of federal agencies including the Department of the Navy, Department of the Army, United States Postal Service, Department of Agriculture, National Passport Center, Internal Revenue Service (IRS), U.S. Marshals, Federal Bureau of Prisons and many more. Jim has represented federal employees before the Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs (OWCP), the Employees Compensation Appeals Board (ECAB), the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB), the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and in Federal Court.
Over time, Jim expanded his practice to include more areas that resemble a typical “general practice.” These areas include Personal Injury, General Business representation, Civil Litigation, Estate Planning, Probate, Real Estate and general employment law representing workers from New Hampshire and Maine. It’s his firm belief that he can help any client that walks in the door and he wants to be their lawyer for life. Jim established the Noucas Law Office in 1992.
Jim earned his B.A. from Dartmouth College in 1974 and his J.D. from Boston College in 1979. He is admitted to practice in the State and Federal Courts of New Hampshire and Maine, the First Circuit Court of Appeals, and the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Jim has twice been named Citizen of the Year in Portsmouth and was the recipient of the 2012 Vickie M. Bunnell Award from the New Hampshire Bar Association for outstanding community service. In his spare time, Jim is co-chair of Portsmouth Listens, a community dialogue group that assists the City of Portsmouth by providing dialogue and feedback from citizens on a variety of community issues.
