Achieving Justice for All through Innovation, Collaboration, and Outstanding Service.
About us
Tyson & Mendes’ goal is to achieve justice for all through innovation, collaboration, and outstanding service. Founded in 2002 by principal trial attorneys Robert Tyson and Patrick Mendes, we are an AV-rated litigation firm of more than 200 attorneys across the U.S. specializing in defending insurers, corporations, and insureds in civil litigation. Tyson & Mendes represents clients throughout Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, and Washington. In addition to these states, our attorneys also serve clients in Georgia, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, and Wisconsin. We have handled some of the most contentious cases that have helped define insurance defense litigation, and we have earned our reputation for targeting the threat of and putting a stop to Nuclear Verdicts® – runaway jury verdicts in excess of $10 million. Our trial-only subsidiary firm, TM HALO®, is wholly dedicated to stemming the tide of Nuclear Verdicts®. Comprised of Tyson & Mendes’ elite defense attorneys with decades of courtroom experience, TM HALO lawyers parachute in to handle the thorniest, highest stakes cases and prevent Nuclear Verdicts®. Back at home, we are ensuring all of our attorneys have the tools they need to achieve exceptional results and protect our clients from unfounded damages awards. We are committed to ongoing education and development. Through comprehensive programs like our TM University and the Tyson & Mendes Trial Academy, Tyson & Mendes attorneys receive in-depth training on the proven defense methods outlined in Managing Partner Robert Tyson’s best-selling book, “Nuclear Verdicts®: Defending Justice for All,” which is the first playbook for the defense on how to avoid runaway jury verdicts.

Some great advice from our Partner Edward Leonard!
A successful mediation is based on thorough preparation. Knowledge of facts both favorable and unfavorable is key, as is understanding your opponent’s position and impediments to case resolution. Your client and carrier must be prepared and ready to settle. Have a strategy, attend the mediation with an open mind and LISTEN to the mediator and your opponent. Know the facts. Economic damages. Persuasive facts on the non-economic side. Understand that future damages must be reasonably certain to occur. Probability is not the standard. Understand that a good settlement makes everyone somewhat unhappy. Avoid thinking that you are going to win the day with your eloquence. Stay loose. Be facile. Listen more and talk less. Persuasion is the goal. Check your ego. Settle cases. Good luck.
