Expertise in Personal Injury

Patrice McKinney is an outstanding attorney with an impressive 31 years of experience in personal injury law. I was represented by her after a severe trucking collision, and her deep knowledge of FELA and oilfield injury cases was evident from our first meeting. She explained complex legal concepts clearly and fought relentlessly for my compensation. While her case strategies were brilliant, I wish she had been more responsive to my initial emails—it took a few days to get a callback, which was a bit frustrating. However, once engaged, her dedication was unmatched. Her recognition in Best Lawyers and Texas Super Lawyers is well-deserved, and I’d highly recommend her to anyone in need of a seasoned personal injury lawyer.
