Firm: Minton Law Firm

At its simplest, the philosophy of the Minton Law Firm is to strive to help injury victims in their time of greatest need to overcome the disparity between themselves and larger, more economically powerful corporations and insurance companies. As a former insurance adjuster, Mr. Minton left the insurance industry to become a private lawyer. The reason is simple:. “I worked for a major insurance company, and I was trained by the insurance companies to settle claims at the ‘lowest ultimate cost.’ Upon leaving the insurance industry, I have made it my goal to protect the rights of my clients and facilitate fair and reasonable settlements on behalf of each and every individual I represent. Many lawyers claim to specialize in personal injury and wrongful death claims but few have my experience.”. Let Justin Minton use his insider knowledge to your benefit.
