About Justin
Justin McMinn began his professional path in Austin, where he completed a Bachelor of Arts in Government at the University of Texas in 2003. Law school came next at Texas Tech University School of Law, where he prepared for practice in Texas courts. That combination of public affairs study and legal training shaped an approach grounded in procedure and advocacy.
Not long after completing his formal education, he joined McMinn Law Office. By 2007 he was serving as a partner there. The title reflects an enduring role in the firm’s daily work and in decisions about case strategy, client intake, and litigation planning. Over the years he has been part of the firm’s steady presence in state practice.
His professional recognition includes listings in peer-evaluated organizations. He appeared in The National Trial Lawyers Top 100 (10 Best Law Office) for 2019 and 2020. He also held membership in the Texas Center for Legal Ethics during those years. Those entries mark participation in broader professional networks that address practice standards and courtroom advocacy.
Licensure is maintained in Texas, where he handles matters that arise under state law. His courtroom experience and practice at McMinn Law Office have kept him engaged in litigation processes and pretrial work. He has worked on filings, motions, and hearings, and has participated in the negotiation stages that often precede trial.
Colleagues describe his approach as straightforward and procedural. He tends to emphasize preparation. He is known for careful review of pleadings and evidence and for advising clients about the practical steps litigation will require. That practical orientation often shapes how he communicates case timelines and likely outcomes.
Outside of firm responsibilities he has stayed involved with groups that discuss professional responsibility and trial advocacy. Participation in those groups has informed both ethical practice and courtroom technique. It has also provided regular contact with other attorneys who handle contested matters in Texas.
He remains based at McMinn Law Office and continues to practice under Texas law. As of 2026 he represents clients through the firm in matters arising in Texas courts and administrative settings.
