TO OUR READERS: This profile is independent editorial content produced by Awesome Attorneys. Pat Maloney: Accident & Injury Attorney did not pay for, commission, sponsor, or review this article, and inclusion in this series cannot be purchased. Nothing here is legal advice, an endorsement, or a recommendation to hire any lawyer; readers should evaluate counsel independently and may verify any Texas attorney’s license and discipline history through the State Bar of Texas at texasbar.com. Facts are drawn from the sources identified in the Methodology section and were verified as of August 2026.

AT A GLANCE

I. Seventy Years in the Same Downtown Building

Pat Maloney: Accident & Injury Attorney occupies what the firm describes as one of the most beautiful and historic buildings in San Antonio, at 239 E. Commerce Street in the center of downtown. The firm’s own materials describe it as the longest-serving plaintiffs’ injury law firm in the city, a claim that carries weight given how many San Antonio injury firms have opened and folded in that same span. The firm’s name traces to Pat Maloney, Sr., a legendary San Antonio trial lawyer (1924-2005) whose reputation was significant enough that the San Antonio Trial Lawyers Association named its courage award after him; the current firm is led by Pat Maloney, Jr., who is board certified in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, a credential the firm notes is held by fewer than 1% of Texas attorneys.

II. A Deep, Single-Focus Practice Area List

The firm’s practice areas run wide within personal injury specifically rather than branching into unrelated fields: car, truck, and motorcycle accidents; pedestrian, bicycle, and rideshare accidents; medical malpractice; birth injuries; catastrophic injury categories including traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and amputation; construction and oil field accidents; product liability; and wrongful death. This is a firm that has stayed within plaintiffs’ injury law across seven decades rather than diversifying into other practice areas.

III. Practice Areas

• Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents
• Pedestrian, bicycle, and rideshare accidents
• Medical malpractice and birth injuries
• Catastrophic injury: traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, amputation, burns
• Construction and oil field accidents
• Product liability
• Wrongful death

IV. Case Outcomes

The firm’s public materials do not publish itemized settlement or verdict dollar figures on its main practice pages; that gap is disclosed here rather than filled in. The firm instead points prospective clients to a dedicated case-results page and a video testimonial library rather than a tabulated results list.

V. The Client Voice

The firm publishes numerous video and written testimonials on its own site. One client, Janie H., described a case where “we knew what really happened, but we couldn’t get the truth through,” crediting Pat Maloney with saving the case: “he fought very hard for us.” Another client, Dave C., recalled asking how the firm would prove a difficult claim and being told “the truth is the truth, and that will be enough.” A third client, Mary T., praised the firm for keeping her informed throughout a difficult recovery: “his staff was always available and responsive when I had questions.” The firm also holds a Yelp listing and BBB accreditation badge. No pattern of negative or unresolved reviews was located for this firm as of this research date.

VI. Community and Local Presence

The firm operates from a single, prominent downtown San Antonio location and markets itself specifically around its seven-decade local tenure rather than a multi-office statewide footprint. No dedicated pro bono or civic program beyond its longstanding community reputation is documented on the firm’s public materials.

VII. Credentials and Recognition

Pat Maloney, Jr. is board certified in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, a genuine peer- and exam-based credential distinct from marketing-program awards. No other third-party peer-review credentials (Best Lawyers, Super Lawyers, Martindale-Hubbell) were located on the firm’s public materials as of this research date.

VIII. The Texas Legal Backdrop

Texas personal injury claims are generally subject to a two-year statute of limitations under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003. Claims against a governmental unit require prompt written notice, generally within six months, under the Texas Tort Claims Act (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 101.101), though some local governments set shorter notice periods by charter. Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 33.001) under which a plaintiff found more than 50% responsible for their own injury generally cannot recover. None of this is legal advice; consult a licensed Texas attorney about your specific situation.

IX. The Awesome Attorneys Assessment

Pat Maloney’s structural strength is straightforward longevity and focus: seven decades as a plaintiffs’-only injury firm from the same downtown San Antonio address, led by a board-certified trial lawyer whose family name carries real weight in the local legal community. For a San Antonio client who values an established, single-focus firm with deep local roots, that continuity is a genuine, checkable asset.

The honest limitation is transparency on results: unlike some firms in this series, Pat Maloney’s public materials do not publish itemized case results with dollar figures, relying instead on testimonials and reputation. A prospective client who wants to evaluate a firm’s specific track record before hiring should ask directly for representative case outcomes during a consultation, since the public record alone does not provide that detail here.
