About McCarthy & Associates

Jeff McCarthy

Managing Partner

Client-focused attorneys, fighting for you.

Prior to law school, Jeff honorably served in the United States Army and the Texas Army National Guard as an officer in the Cavalry. He had the opportunity to perform in key leadership roles in support of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Additionally, Jeff completed multiple overseas deployments, earning the Bronze Star for his service in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom while deploying with the 82nd Airborne Division.

He began his legal career as a pre-select candidate with the Harris County District Attorney’s office. After prosecuting numerous crimes and fighting for the rights of the citizens of Harris County, Jeff transitioned his passion for trial work to the civil courthouse by accepting a position as a trial attorney for a Fortune 100 insurance carrier and later working for one of the top insurance defense firms in Texas. During this time, he gained unparalleled first-chair trial experience defending cases involving personal injury, insurance defense, premises liability, and general civil litigation matters. As a former insurance defense attorney, Jeff has inside knowledge of how these companies conspire against the little guy, and he will use this knowledge and insight to work for you.

Jeff is a graduate of South Texas College of Law in Houston and admitted to the State Bar of Texas. He is also admitted to practice in the U.S. District Courts for the Southern District of Texas.

“Jeff took my case and WON at trial. It was terrifying. Jeff was great all the way through. Always answered the phone or called me right back. I knew I was right and he always believed in me and our case. Winning at trial was one of the best feelings ever. If you ever need a real trial attorney, call Jeff!”

- A Satisfied Client

“Bottom line... they are in the business of being a lawyer... They are not baby sitters and I will not hold them to unrealistic standards. They are amazing. They performed amazing. They did not politically correct anything. They fulfilled all their duties admirably, I now have a beautiful check that helped me get back on the road and pay off bills. I am giving them a 5-star easily, I am sorry to the ones that gave a one star, I just don't see it. I will have no fear in calling them again and have set them as number 7 on speed dial.”
