The McMinn Law Firm was established in 2005 by Jason B. McMinn, a young, aggressive trial attorney. He began practicing law in the midst of tort reform in the state of Texas. Mr. McMinn attended the University of Texas for a degree in Business Administration and Texas Tech University for his law degree.
Mr. McMinn began his legal career working for a large established law firm in Fort Worth, Texas. His primary practice areas were business litigation, medical malpractice defense and general insurance defense. Mr. McMinn worked closely with some of the top defense attorneys in the State of Texas. He exercised a hands-on approach, and his employers allowed him more involvement with the litigation process than most of his peers. When tort reform took a toll on the defense work available, Mr. McMinn saw an opportunity to start his own firm with the vast array of knowledge and expertise he had gained. He moved the firm to New Braunfels in 2006, intending to cater to the growing Texas community. Through his satellite office in Victoria, TX, he focused on the smaller Texas counties extending to the gulf coast.
In August of 2007, the McMinn Law Firm moved its main office to Austin after experiencing great success with its original New Braunfels office. Expanding to the Texas capital city allowed the law firm to extend its services to the urban populace while also maintaining the New Braunfels office for personal injury and selective criminal cases. The firm also decided to narrow its practice to personal injury and criminal trial law.
The McMinn Law Firm’s common approach involves an exclusive focus on litigation and areas of law which require experience, innovation, and personable trial techniques. Jason B. McMinn has had significant trial experience in criminal law and personal injury cases since the formation of the firm.
The McMinn Law Firm uses its extensive experience on the defense side to represent plaintiffs in various personal injury cases. No case is too small for McMinn Law, and the McMinn attorneys are willing and able to help the common person battle large insurance companies who deny claims without merit.
The McMinn Law Firm and Jason B. McMinn have committed a significant portion of their practice to criminal law. Mr. McMinn has tried numerous felony and misdemeanor cases to a jury trial with many acquittals. He has an enormous amount of trial experience in this area of law. Mr. McMinn genuinely enjoys helping people overcome their criminal charges by offering advice, legal representation and trust. He ensures the system does not take advantage of a person’s demographics or lifestyle.
