Before opening the Minton Law Firm, he worked for a major insurance company as a claims adjuster. “I have personally seen an unspeakable amount of people settle their claim for less than it was worth simply because the prosecution of a claim has become such a complex process. Insurance companies also have the upper hand when it comes to negotiating settlements. They hold the purse strings.” He has settled thousands of personal injury claims and paid out millions of dollars in settlements both as an insurance adjuster and as a private lawyer. Mr. Minton left the insurance industry to devote his practice to the protection of individuals and their rights. M. Justin Minton was born in Fayetteville, Arkansas, on November 22, 1977.
