In 1980, Jim began practicing law in New Jersey. In 1983 he moved to Florida and joined the Fort Myers firm of Henderson, Franklin, Starnes & Holt, P.A. Jim practiced with Henderson Franklin until April 2006. For over 25 years, Jim practiced civil litigation, including a wide variety of commercial litigation and all aspects of construction litigation.

Jim started mediating in the early 1990s and, in 1995, became certified by the Florida Supreme Court as a Circuit Civil Mediator.  In 1997, he became a certified U.S. District Court Mediator for the Middle District of Florida, and a certified Appellate Mediator in 2011 when that certification first became available.  

In April 2006, Jim established Nulman Mediation Services, Inc., a practice dedicated solely to providing mediation services. While in the early years of his mediation practice, Jim mediated mostly commercial and construction disputes, over the years that has broadened significantly. 

Jim is particularly known for his mediation of disputes involving construction litigation, insurance coverage, business disputes and dissolutions, and employment cases (i.e., employment discrimination of all kinds, FLSA, minimum wage, etc.).  However,  conducting approximately 175 mediations each year, Jim has extensive experience mediating a wide range of other civil disputes, including business torts; class actions; condominium disputes; copyright & trademark matters; corporate & partnership disputes; eminent domain; employee restrictive covenants (non-competes, non-solicitation and non-disclosure); fraud; HOA matters; legal malpractice; medical malpractice; negligence and intentional torts; personal injury; probate, estates & trusts; real estate disputes; real estates brokerage disputes; stock broker disputes; trade secrets and wrongful death.
