About Marjorie Nicol
Marjorie Nicol is a respected insurance coverage litigator, representing first and third-party insurers across a wide range of commercial and personal lines. Marjorie provides sage advice from the claim adjustment phase through ensuing litigation in both state and federal trial and appellate courts.

In addition to decades of success in the trial courts on behalf of her clients, Marjorie has successfully argued insurance cases before the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.
Serving her profession is also important to Marjorie. Currently, she is serving her third elected term on the State Bar of Texas Insurance Council, the governing body of the Insurance Law Section. She has chaired the Council’s Outreach Committee with the goal of growing the Section as a one-stop resource for Texas insurance lawyers. Marjorie is also serving her second term as Co-Chair of the Advertising and Intellectual Property Sub-Committee of the American Bar Association’s Insurance Coverage Litigation Committee.
