Meredythe Heaton | Austin Personal Injury Lawyer

Meredythe is a fourth generation Austinite. She comes from a local insurance family going back three generations.  Originally, her paternal grandfather was a well-known independent adjuster in the Austin area.  Presently, her parents run their own, separate insurance agencies in the area.  You could say it’s in her blood.

After graduating from SMU Law, Meredythe started her legal career in Dallas working for a boutique commercial litigation firm before deciding to move home to be close to her family.  Once home, she spent a decade of her legal career working on the insurance defense side of personal injury litigation learning how big insurance works against you.  After years as a partner in a statewide defense firm, she got tired of fighting insurance adjusters who were more concerned with their bottom line than compensating those who are truly injured.

Meredythe joined forces with her partner, Mark McLean, a seasoned Austin personal injury lawyer, in 2023 to form Heaton McLean Personal Injury Lawyers. She’s now passionate about fighting for your value, using her unique insight from her in depth experience on the defense side.  Let her put your insurance knowledge to work as your lawyer to maximize your recovery.

Meredythe’s practice focuses primarily on personal injury litigation with an emphasis in the areas of car accidents, commercial vehicle collisions, trucking accidents, premises liability, traumatic brain injuries, wrongful death and survival claims, and catastrophic injury cases.

Meredythe resides in Austin with her husband, Todd, and their adorable young son. When free time arises, she enjoys spending time at Austin’s various music venues, being outdoors, especially on the lake, trying out the ever evolving local fare, and spending time with her family.
