PRO
also known as McElyea Law
In 2001, Thomas McElyea left the corporate defense world to establish his own Southlake-based practice, now known as McElyea Law. For years earlier, he honed his skills defending businesses and insurance carriers, mastering the legal maneuvers they use to limit payouts. That insider knowledge now fuels his personal injury work: he knows exactly where insurers will draw lines and how to push claims forward. By turning his former vantage point into an advocacy tool, Tom delivers a unique advantage to Texans seeking fair compensation after accidents.

"I've worked with Tom for nearly 20 years and have had many cases against him. He is aggressive and pushes hard for his clients. But, at the same time, he's the consummate professional. If Tom tells you he is going to do something, you can take it to the bank. I'm always pleased when I see Tom on the other side of the lawsuit because I know he's not going to play games."
"I have known Tom for over 6 years and have worked with him at a prior law firm. I also have sent referrals to Tom for matters not within my expertise and have found him to handle those referrals with the utmost respect and efficiency. Tom is a true advocate for anyone he represents, especially in difficult situations."
"I endorse this lawyer. Thomas is a strong advocate for his clients while maintaining integrity and professionalism. I would recommend him."
