Why Hire Erskine & McMahon, LLP?
Choose Our Trusted Longview Personal Injury Lawyers
If you were injured in an accident caused by a negligent individual or company in East Texas, you may be wondering if there is anything you can do to protect your rights. It's common for insurance companies to offer an extremely low sum to attempt to settle with a victim while also keeping a profit for themselves. Even if you are aware that you deserve and need a higher amount of compensation to contend with medical expenses and other costs, it may prove difficult to secure recovery without the help of an attorney.

At Erskine & McMahon, LLP, our team of Longview personal injury lawyers has over 100 years of combined experience.

"As a personal injury lawyer who primarily represents hurt victims I most often oppose insurance companies and large corporations. Invariably those companies do not have my client’s best interests at heart. I take the position that insurance companies must pay what they were paid to pay and corporations must be held accountable when they hurt my client."
Serving Clients in Texas
Blake graduated at the end of July 2010 from the Gerry Spence Trial Lawyers College (TLC) in Dubois, Wyoming. TLC consists of an intensive three-week curriculum that began in 1994 and has graduated classes of selected trial lawyers from across the United States.
He has sponsored, and held various Board of Directors leadership positions in worthy civic organizations and community service programs, including Longview Hospice, Longview Boys' Baseball, and East Texas Hope Center.
