‘The Law Lost a Giant Today’ - Jim Coleman, one of the most respected trial lawyers in Texas history, died Saturday at the age of 96. Coleman was a combat soldier in Patton’s Third Army, earned the Silver Star, worked as an agent for the CIA, co-founded Carrington Coleman, hired women as lawyers when other firms refused and represented corporate giants ranging from Ford and General Motors to Uniroyal and John Deere.
