Mike Love

Mike Love founded Mike Love & Associates, LLC in Lufkin and has practiced law in Texas since 1998. He represents people in Lufkin, Nacogdoches, Livingston, Crockett, and across East Texas who were hurt in car wrecks, 18-wheeler crashes, and workplace accidents, and families who lost a loved one because of someone else's negligence.

Mike once owned a mid-sized trucking company based in Angelina County that hauled heavy loads. He ran it by the book and saw firsthand how some carriers cut corners on safety to make a profit. He brings that knowledge to every truck wreck case: how drivers are supposed to be hired, trained, and supervised, how trucks are supposed to be inspected and maintained, and what records a trucking company is required to keep. Mike leads seminars and sessions teaching other lawyers how to investigate truck wrecks, and in 2019 he authored a paper on inspecting trucks and commercial vehicles in trucking litigation. Other Texas law firms call on him to help establish liability against negligent trucking companies.

Mike also handles workplace and construction injuries, including non-subscriber and third-party claims, along with motorcycle crashes, brain and spinal injuries, defective products, slip and falls, and insurance disputes. The firm represents individuals, families, and small companies in Texas and offers free consultations.

Mike earned his bachelor's degree from Stephen F. Austin State University and his law degree from South Texas College of Law Houston in 1997. He is admitted to all Texas state courts, the U.S. District Courts for the Eastern and Southern Districts of Texas, the U.S. Court of Federal Claims and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. He is a member of the Angelina County Bar Association, the American Association for Justice, the Texas Trial Lawyers Association and the Christian Trial Lawyers Association.

Outside the courtroom, Mike has organized Lufkin's Fourth of July Fireworks Extravaganza since 2005; the firm sponsors the show and provides the fireworks and the pyrotechnicians who design and run it. The firm also funds the Mike Love High Five Scholarship for graduating seniors at Angelina County high schools and received the Business of the Year Community Impact Award of East Texas in 2015.
