Jackson, I. Matthew

We purchase insurance to guard against the unexpected. As policyholders, we are reassured that our needs will be met following a home fire, untimely death or other traumatic event. But when an insurance company fails to recognize a valid claim, our personal tragedy is only compounded.

Often, people have neither the money nor the energy to fight coverage denial or delayed payment. They may feel forced to settle for less than what is owed, or nothing at all. At my Austin law firm, I am committed to assisting families, individuals and businesses receive fair treatment under the law.

If your Texas insurance claim has been wrongfully denied, contact Jon Michael Smith, Attorney. I have 20 years of legal experience, and am prepared to advocate for you every step of the way.

Personal Service From an Austin Insurance Bad Faith Lawyer
Insurance companies promise to be there for you when times are hard. They sell you a policy and collect premiums, but sometimes do not deliver on the policy's assurances. This is known as insurance bad faith.

At my firm, I will help you accurately evaluate your bad faith insurance claim and forcefully pursue justice on your behalf. I am always responsive to your needs, and make it a point to return phone calls within one business day. Because I am a solo practitioner, your case will never be passed to a paralegal or junior associate but will receive the personal attention it deserves.

Affordable, Experienced Advocacy
Denied insurance claims can have a profound and lasting effect on financial stability. For this reason, I strive to make my practice accessible. You will not be charged for an initial case evaluation, and are always considered for flexible compensation arrangements. Should I discover that your matter does not merit legal action, I will provide you with a thorough explanation and assist you in understanding your position.

Since my early days as a law clerk, insurance has been the focus of my practice. Over the years, I have successfully handled hundreds of claims on behalf of policyholders and am committed to favorably resolving your matter.
