From Trail to Trial: Dallas Litigator Tackles 700 Miles in Appalachia
"It was important to me to be able to try to do something that was different. At 65, it was important for me to see if I could live apart from my position, training, wealth—anything else that I might have," said Mike "TinMan" Lynn.

After hiking about 700 miles over three months, losing 22 pounds and taking a month to recuperate, Dallas litigator Mike Lynn is back at the firm he founded—preparing for a trial in a couple of weeks.
“Everything seems so fast,” said Lynn about his first week back at Lynn Tillotson Pinker Cox. He hiked from April 1 to June 28—traversing the Appalachian Trail through Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia—and then returned to his law practice on Aug. 3.
“When I was on the AT, I was just another hiker—not a lawyer,” Lynn said. “I was known as 'TinMan,' and I responded to TinMan, and frankly got to know it better than my real name.”
