Pete Trosclair

Pete’s passion for what he does comes from personal experience. Pete and his mom were hit by a drunk driver when he was 10 years old. While he walked away uninjured, his mom was not as lucky. The collision knocked her unconscious, resulting in severe injuries to her neck that required surgery. She was unable to work for months due to her injuries. The financial stress caused by her inability to work and the insurance company’s refusal to do the right thing was clear even to a kid. A relative’s kindness was the only reason his family was able to keep their home. Years later, Pete’s dad, who worked offshore on an oil rig, was also severely injured when an employee lost control of a high pressure hose. The injuries to his back left him disabled. Watching his parents struggle with daily pain, feeling the financial burden a personal injury and disability can cause, and seeing how an insurance company’s bad faith can upend someone’s entire life is what motivates Pete to help others who find themselves in a similar situation. His own personal experience is the reason he helped found Lovins Law.

Pete Trosclair was born and raised in Larose, Louisiana, a small town 60 miles southwest of New Orleans near the Gulf Coast. Pete is a proud veteran who served in the United States Navy.  He went on to earn his undergraduate degree from the University of California San Diego and his law degree from the University Of Texas School Of Law.

Pete began his legal career with a large law firm representing corporations in complex commercial litigation. Pete’s introduction to litigation began by representing a multinational corporation in an insurance coverage dispute involving dozens of commercial insurance policies and damages in the hundreds of millions of dollars.  Pete worked his way to becoming the lead associate on numerous cases valued in the tens of millions of dollars. Pete also proudly headed that firm’s pro bono division in one of the most underserved areas of Dallas. 

Pete then joined another Dallas law firm that focused on what mattered most to him- helping people who experienced what he and his family experienced. There he represented individuals that sustained catastrophic personal injuries, and he continued to fight insurance companies that wrongly denied claims. Pete gained extensive experience in insurance coverage disputes, trucking accident litigation, car wrecks, medical malpractice, mass torts/pharmaceutical litigation, class actions, and civil rights litigation in both Federal and State courts. In 2010, Pete started this firm with Michael Lovins. Each year they continue to recover millions of dollars for their clients.
