Michael J. Gopin

Michael J. Gopin is the name behind the firm and the author of this book. Michael graduated from the University of Texas at Austin, attended law school at St. Mary’s University in San Antonio, Texas, and became licensed to practice in the state of Texas in 1987.

Michael has practiced law in El Paso since 1987. Even after more than 30 years, he still remembers his first jury case. Two weeks after receiving his license, he represented a person whose life had been forever changed after being blinded in a work-related incident. “We convinced the jury to agree with us and received a favorable verdict,” he remembers.

This victory has stuck with him as justice was served. He is proud that he continues to build a long list of satisfied clients. Michael has successfully handled countless cases of medical malpractice, product liability, personal injury, and nursing home negligence. He enjoys helping people “get their lives back in order” by providing high-quality legal representation and compassionate customer service.

Michael especially likes leveling the playing field for individuals who find themselves in disputes against huge insurance companies. His law firm has earned a reputation for having the experience and the resources to go to fight large insurers that try to delay, deny, or devalue legitimate claims.

In his spare time, Michael is a devoted family man, plays competitive table tennis and travels the world. He has been to all continents in the world except Antartica. Michael and his wife Dawn have several children and he he hopes one or more may study law.
