Hill Boren attorney James Krenis has discovered a new way to combine his legal expertise and patriotism. Krenis recently completed an extensive training session, held in San Diego, to be a volunteer mediator for the ESGR (Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve) program with the national Department of Defense.
The ESGR provides support for the members of our National Guard and Reserve through cooperation from both public and private employers. Through this program, Mr. Krenis and other volunteers act as mediators between the employee and employer to explain the specific laws put in place to protect the jobs of guardsmen and reservists returning from active duty. The goal is to reach an agreement between the two parties. According to the ESGR website, over 95% of cases occurring in the past year have been successfully mediated.
James Krenis has been with the Hill Boren law firm since 2000. He received his law degree from the University of Memphis School of Law and his Bachelor of Arts from Rutgers University in New Jersey. In addition to being a member of the Jackson-Madison County Bar Association and the American Association for Justice, Mr. Krenis serves on the Board of Governors for the Tennessee Association for Justice. He loves living in the south on his small farm with his new daughter, lovely wife, two (rescued) dogs and a horse.
