About LAWBOSS and the attorneys of our Dallas office

Founded by a former insurance-side professional

Michael Uvalle worked for several of the largest insurance companies in Texas before he became a lawyer. He founded the firm that is now LAWBOSS on what he learned there: how claims are opened, how they are valued, and how an injured person can be worn down by delay. The firm calls it the Insurance Insider Advantage. Its motto is Work Hard and Do Right.

Michael Uvalle has been licensed to practice law in Texas since 2010, according to the State Bar of Texas, which lists his primary practice location as the firm’s Dallas office. He is the attorney responsible for the content of this website.

Five attorneys from the insurance side

Five LAWBOSS attorneys came to the firm after working for insurers, as adjusters or as insurance company lawyers:

• Michael Uvalle, founder, Dallas office, who worked for several of the largest insurance companies in Texas.
• Jonathan Harris, Board Certified, Personal Injury Trial Law – Texas Board of Legal Specialization, who spent more than a decade as a senior trial attorney for a major auto insurer and now leads the firm’s litigation.
• Ian Nelsen, a former adjuster and insurance defense attorney.
• Howard Hill, who spent more than 20 years with two of the largest auto and commercial insurers.
• Joseph Massey, Dallas office, a former workers’ compensation adjuster and manager.

That background is the firm’s edge in a truck case. A trucking company’s insurer opens its file early, and our attorneys know what is in that file because they used to keep files like it. We use that knowledge to anticipate the other side’s moves, never to promise an outcome.

The Dallas office

Three attorneys list the Dallas office as their primary practice location with the State Bar of Texas: Michael Uvalle (licensed since 2010), Rolando Reyna, Jr. (licensed since 2021), who handles pre-litigation work, and Joseph Massey (licensed since 2024). The office serves Dallas, Irving, Garland, Mesquite, Grand Prairie, Richardson, Carrollton, Plano, Arlington and DeSoto. The line is answered 24 hours a day.

How we work

• Free consultation. The first conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
• No Fees or Costs Unless We Win. The firm advances case costs, and you owe no attorney’s fee and no case costs unless money is recovered for you. The written fee agreement sets out the terms.
• Early records. In a truck case the preservation letter goes out first.
• Plain answers. We tell you what we see, including when we think a case is weak.

What this site is

This site is attorney advertising by LAWBOSS. It gives general information about Texas and federal law that matters after a crash with a truck. It is not legal advice for your situation, and reading it, calling or sending a form does not create an attorney-client relationship. The only person shown on this site as a member of the firm is Michael Uvalle, in the firm’s own portrait; photographs of roads and trucks are illustrations.
