J.D. McMullen

Attorney J.D. McMullen serves as Of Counsel as part of the firm’s litigation team. He joined the firm in 2023, focusing his practice on helping hardworking families across the country affected by mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases, often the result of corporate negligence, misconduct, and greed.

An advocate for cancer victims and their families nationwide for almost 20 years, J.D. has dedicated his career to securing justice for those injured through no fault of their own. He has fought vigorously and tirelessly to help mend the emotional and financial devastation families face and continues to be an advocate for truth and corporate responsibility to help prevent other families from suffering the same fate.

Throughout the course of his career, J.D. has recovered millions of dollars on behalf of those whose lives have been lost or forever changed by the unjust and reckless actions of others, and he has received well-deserved recognition both in and out of the courtroom as a result. Legal professionals selected him as one of Texas’ Top Outstanding Young Lawyers in Personal Injury Litigation in 2013 and as a Texas Rising Star in 2013-2016, 2018, and 2019. He was also awarded the title of “Honorary Lightship Sailor” by the U.S. Coast Guard Lightship Sailors Association for his advocacy on behalf of the country’s military men and women.

While he is appreciative of the accolades he’s received, what J.D. treasures the most is the love and appreciation he receives from every family he represents, that they consider him to be more of a family member than their attorney by the end of their journey together.

Beyond the courtroom, he's a dedicated community leader, working on the frontlines during the pandemic, organizing charity fundraisers, volunteering to coach local youth sports, and overseeing a university scholarship he co-founded in honor his friend to empower future leaders committed to community service.
