Amar Raval started Raval Trial Law in 2024. He focuses his practice on insurance claims and insurance litigation, working with policyholders with claims disputes regarding disability insurance, health insurance, life insurance, and accidental death and dismemberment insurance.
Amar has worked in the legal industry since 2004, working with accomplished trial lawyer Jim Plummer for his entire career. In addition to his current work, he has also represented clients in personal injury matters. Amar is a true trial lawyer with extensive and successful experience at every stage of litigation, from filing lawsuits through appeals.
What Amar enjoys most about being a lawyer is helping people who need the help fighting their own insurance companies for the benefits they are entitled to. Policyholders have an insurance contract where their insurer made a promise and he makes sure they honor their promise. Whether it’s disability, accidental death, health, or life insurance, he helps someone and their loved ones with nowhere else to turn because an insurance company broke its promise to them. Of what it’s like to work with Amar, his attorney peers say, “I have worked with Mr. Raval before and find him to be extremely knowledgeable and professional, and he gets the job done” and “Amar Raval is an outstanding attorney! He goes above and beyond for all his clients, peers, and community in any capacity he can. He will fight aggressively and persistently to ensure justice and maximum recoveries for his clients. I would absolutely trust him to protect me and my loved ones in health insurance, life insurance, ERISA, and all insurance related matters. He will continue the fight as far as needed into litigation. An absolute diamond of an attorney!”
Amar’s clients have left him numerous grateful online reviews, including statements such as “I had issues with receiving payment on valid, current policies after a cancer diagnosis, and received every excuse the insurance company could think of not to pay the claims. Thanks to Amar’s support, both the short-term disability and cancer policies were approved. Hiring Amar Raval to handle these horrid insurance companies will be the best decision you can make!”
Amar is licensed to practice in both Texas and California, as well in the United States District Courts for the Southern District of Texas, Northern District of Texas, Eastern District of Texas, Western District of Texas, Central District of California, and Northern District of California. He is also admitted to practice before the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit and the United States Supreme Court. He graduated from Houston Baptist University with a Bachelor of Science in History and Bachelor of Science in Political Science, summa cum laude. Subsequently, he obtained his law degree from Loyola Law School in 2003.
In addition to achieving and maintaining a Martindale Hubbell AV Preeminent Rating, he was selected by his peers for inclusion in Texas Super Lawyers (2021-2023). In 2023, he was recognized by Manage HR as one of the Top ERISA Services Providers in the country. Amar has also been recognized by The Best Lawyers in America® for his work in Commercial Litigation (2024).
