Adam Milasincic

Adam Milasincic may hold the most decorated academic record of any injury lawyer in Houston: first in his class at the University of Virginia School of Law, an Order of the Coif honors graduate, and the number one score on his bar exam. What distinguishes him for injury victims, though, is what he has done with it — defeating some of the largest companies in Texas in front of both juries and appellate justices, with client victories covered by Forbes, the Houston Chronicle, and KPRC-TV.

The numbers are concrete. Milasincic secured a $47.5 million settlement for a woman severely injured by a defective consumer product, and he entered the Texas Verdicts Hall of Fame for an $11.4 million verdict won within his first three years as an attorney. Texas Lawyer’s editors named him one of 25 Lawyers on the Rise for 2017 after reviewing more than 100 nominations of attorneys age 40 and under, and Texas Super Lawyers placed him on its Rising Stars list every year from 2015 through 2024 — a designation fewer than 2.5 percent of eligible Texas attorneys earn annually.

His background is closer to his clients’ lives than his resume suggests. Milasincic grew up in a small factory town and worked his way through school processing mortgage paperwork and spinning records as a roller-skating rink disc jockey. He began his career representing large corporations and political figures — experience that taught him exactly how powerful defendants and their mega-firms litigate — then switched sides, representing teachers, sales agents, a truck driver hurt on the job, and the family of a firefighter killed in the line of duty. He joined The Ammons Law Firm to deliver that big-firm caliber of work to injured individuals and their families, and his early years handling trials and appeals of business disputes give him a range most plaintiff’s lawyers lack.

Clients emphasize how reachable he is: one former client recounted that he answered every question, however basic, at any hour of the day or week. He earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Virginia in 2011 and is admitted to federal district courts across Texas as well as the Central and Southern Districts of California.

Milasincic suits injury victims heading into a fight against a deep-pocketed corporate defendant — product defect cases, serious truck crashes, and any claim where the other side has hired a powerhouse defense firm and expects to overwhelm you. His whole practice is organized around refusing to be intimidated or outmaneuvered. Consultations are free, and the contingency arrangement means no fee unless he wins.
