Areas of Practice
Insurance Coverage Opinions
Even the most experienced claim team sometimes needs legal advice regarding the application of insurance policy text to allegations and/or true facts. When you face that situation, Texas Insurance Law, PLLC brings deep experience (thousands of coverage opinions over decades) and expertise to the task of recognizing and analyzing insurance coverage issues—and crucially, predicting how judges will resolve them. Letters are in clear English, not legal jargon. The value is accuracy and objectivity.
Civil Appeals
Whether a judgment against an insured should be appealed can be a difficult decision that requires a trial record, knowledge of applicable law and objectivity. Prevailing on appeal requires a legal skill set and focus different from trial law. It matters that the appellate advocate has “been there and done that”—often. Jack McKinley has a long and productive record of appellate advocacy that speaks for itself (soon to be linked).
Monitoring Counsel
Lawsuits defended by someone else’s choice of counsel may trigger the maxim: trust but verify. Excess insurers often see a need to retain their own lawyer to monitor the progression of, and their exposure in, lawsuits being defended by a primary insurer. Jack McKinley, having tried tort lawsuits for 10 years and since then done coverage and appellate work, has expertise in the three areas relevant to evaluating exposure for an excess insurer in a lawsuit someone else is defending.
