Thomas McElyea launched his own practice, McElyea Law, in Southlake in 2001 after years of defending corporations and insurance companies in complex litigation. That background taught him the strategies and tactics insurers rely on to minimize liability—and gives him an insider’s perspective when representing injured clients. Today, Tom leverages this experience to build stronger personal injury claims across Texas, anticipating defense arguments and negotiating more effectively on behalf of accident victims. What began as a solo endeavor has grown into a firm renowned for combining corporate-defense savvy with a client-centered approach.
