Mike McCormick

Originally from the Midwest, Mike graduated from University of Kansas School of Law in 1985 and began practicing in Kansas City in the courts of both Missouri and Kansas, before his firm opened its Houston office in 1989. During his tenure with McCormick, Hancock and Newton, he has tried lawsuits on a broad range of topics in venues throughout the state. Mike takes special pride in the Texas Bar Foundation and its influence on the perceptions of the legal profession, our strong ethical commitments and professional discourse and responsibility.

Under the theory that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, Mike regularly conducts seminars for clients on such topics as tort reform, employer/employee relationships, indemnity among contractors and their subcontractors, risk management, insurance bad faith and other contractual responsibilities of carriers to their insureds and negotiation strategies and tactics.

Mike and his wife Linda, a scientist in the pharmaceutical industry, are the parents of five children, three dogs and a cat. Mike is a rabid sports fan and is actively involved in his church, various little leagues and conservation organizations such as Ducks Unlimited, Pheasants Forever and Quail Unlimited. Mike and his children regularly compete in waterski tournaments and the entire family enjoys snow skiing and other outdoor pursuits.
