What Is Templeton Law Firm?
Templeton Law Firm is a West Texas litigation practice with a focused scope: personal injury claims arising from accidents, denied or underpaid insurance claims, and business disputes. The firm does not operate as a general practice or a settlement mill. Scott Templeton prepares every case for trial, and insurance companies and opposing parties know it.
The firm's approach is built on a straightforward premise: most people come to a lawyer when something has gone wrong, and they deserve someone who will take their facts seriously, explain what the law actually allows, and pursue the best possible outcome without cutting corners or pushing quick settlements.
Cases are accepted from individuals and businesses throughout West Texas and Central Texas, including Tom Green County, Midland, Odessa, Abilene, and surrounding communities.
What Types of Cases Does Templeton Law Firm Handle?
The firm's current practice is concentrated in three areas:
- Personal Injury: Representing individuals injured through the negligence of another. Cases include car, truck, and motorcycle accidents, 18-wheeler crashes, premises liability, and wrongful death. These are handled on a contingency fee basis.
- Insurance Disputes and Denied Claims: Representing policyholders in disputes involving health insurance, property damage, fire, vehicle claims, and medical expenses.
- Business Disputes and Commercial Litigation: Handling contract and partnership conflicts, business fraud claims, and oil and gas litigation.

Why Was Templeton Law Firm Founded?
Scott Templeton did not leave San Angelo to build his career somewhere else and come back. He stayed. He went to school here, built a practice here, and has spent more than two decades helping people here navigate situations that felt overwhelming.
"I'm an attorney who likes his job." — Scott Templeton
In West Texas, many people try to resolve legal problems on their own, sometimes out of necessity, sometimes out of a reluctance to ask for help. Scott understands that. He also understands what it costs when someone handles a complicated legal situation without guidance: compromised claims, damaged interests, missed deadlines.
The firm exists to be a resource that people in this part of Texas can actually access, one that communicates plainly, charges on contingency for injury cases, and takes cases seriously enough to prepare them for trial from the start.
What Makes Templeton Law Firm Different?
Genuine Local Roots
Scott is not a transplant. He grew up in San Angelo, attended school here, and has practiced here for his entire career. That matters when a case involves local courts, local juries, and a community he has been part of for decades.
A Background in Communication
Scott's education in English and his experience teaching writing are not incidental to his legal work. The ability to explain complex legal concepts clearly, to a client, to a jury, to a judge, is a practical skill. His co-founding of Applied Performance Training reflects a sustained investment in how lawyers communicate.
Bilingual Representation
Scott and the firm's staff communicate fully in both English and Spanish, not as a translation accommodation, but as a genuine capacity to serve San Angelo's Spanish-speaking community in either language from start to finish.
