What McDonald Worley does

McDonald Worley, PC is a privately held Texas professional corporation founded in 2013 that operates as an award-winning personal injury and civil litigation law firm. Its practice spans motor-vehicle accidents (car, motorcycle, truck, train, Uber, pedestrian, bicycle, distracted driving), personal injury (traumatic brain injury, medical malpractice, birth injury, slip and fall, wrongful death, dog bites, nursing home neglect), product liability (IVC filter, metal hip implant, Roundup, VW diesel emissions, hernia mesh, transvaginal mesh, talcum powder), dangerous drugs, consumer protection, and Texas-specific probate and civil litigation matters. The firm also produces the television program 'Power of Attorney: Don Worley' (originally on Investigation Discovery, later on Court TV), featuring 12 high-profile civil cases and used as a brand and lead-generation asset.

Revenue is generated under a contingency-fee model ('no fees unless we win') for personal injury matters, supplemented by probate services across Texas; specific fee percentages are not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is sales-led: free case reviews captured via phone (877.721.3423, 866.278.3247) and web forms, supported by an extensive content marketing and SEO footprint (location-specific landing pages for five metros and 30+ blog articles), a Spanish-language site, and earned-media presence via Super Lawyers, Martindale, National Law Journal Litigation Trailblazers, and Justice.org Leaders Forum. The firm maintains five physical offices — Houston (HQ), Washington DC, New York, Fort Lauderdale, and Las Vegas — and operates exclusively on standard legal-practice technology with no proprietary platforms, APIs, or AI capabilities.
