Trent Miracle is an attorney and shareholder at the award-winning national firm of Simmons Hanly Conroy. Miracle leads the firm’s Pharmaceutical Litigation Group. He has practiced law for more than two decades and has helped thousands of people harmed by defective medical devices and dangerous drugs.

He became a lawyer to help people fight back against the negligence of large companies and practices in the areas of pharmaceutical litigation and mesothelioma and asbestos.

After obtaining his law degree from St. Mary’s University School of Law in Texas, Miracle began his career focusing on aviation law in 1996. As a personal injury attorney, he concentrated on fighting for justice for people injured in airline and helicopter disasters.

Backed by the national power of Simmons Hanly Conroy, Miracle and his team are able to help their clients hold giant drug and medical device makers accountable. Under his leadership, his team has helped win nearly $360 million in settlements for clients.

He is a founding chairman of the American Association for Justice’s Asbestos Litigation Group and regularly speaks at large legal conferences.
