When you’re picking a personal injury lawyer in Austin, most firms sound the same on paper: millions recovered, five-star reviews, no fee unless you win. What’s harder to find is a firm that’s actually seen the case from the other side of the table.
That’s the case at McMinn Law Firm. Brothers Jason and Justin McMinn spent the early part of their careers defending insurance companies before switching sides to represent injured clients.
That background matters more than it might sound—insurance defense work means learning exactly how adjusters evaluate claims, which arguments they use to minimize payouts, and where their leverage actually comes from. McMinn Law Firm now uses that same playbook against the insurers it used to work for.
The firm also operates in two states at once, with offices in Austin, Texas, and Salt Lake City, Utah. It is an unusual footprint for a firm of its size, and one that reflects two decades of growth rather than a single local practice.
A track record with real numbers behind it
McMinn Law Firm has recovered more than $500 million for injured clients since 2005, including a $9.8 million settlement in a company vehicle collision case and a $4.1 million recovery in a rideshare accident.
The firm’s work has also been recognized independently: a verdict in Travis County was named one of the top uninsured motorist verdicts in Texas by TopVerdict.com, an independent aggregator of settlement and verdict data.
What that means for a prospective client
An insurance company doesn’t get to surprise a firm that used to work for insurance companies. When McMinn Law Firm evaluates a claim, it does so with firsthand knowledge of how the other side will try to undervalue it.
The firm handles car accidents, truck and 18-wheeler collisions, motorcycle and pedestrian accidents, and rideshare crashes across Central Texas and the Salt Lake Valley, and offers free consultations with no fee unless it wins your case.
