Justin Minton
The founder of the Minton Law Firm, Mr. Minton focuses his practice primarily on personal injury, wrongful death, and bad faith insurance claims. 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. He is married to Sally Minton and is father to three young boys, Carter, Caden and Charlie, and a little girl – Channing. Mr. Minton graduated with honors from Caddo Hills High School in Norman, Arkansas, in 1996. He received his bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from the University of Central Arkansas and his Juris Doctor degree from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
During his law school career, he was ranked as high as third in his class and was honored to be elected to the Dean’s list. He is currently active in the Arkansas Bar Association and the Arkansas Trial Lawyers Association.
