Practice areas
Jason is well known across the country as the motorcycle lawyer. Passionate about riding, passionate about standing up for motorcycle riders everywhere. Motorcycle law is unique in that rules and laws that protect other motor vehicle users may not protect a biker. Special considerations should be taken when deciding on insurance, what to do when you crash your motorcycle, etc. I've handled 1000's of motorcycle accident cases and won millions for my injured motorcycle accident clients.

We are adept at handling any motor vehicle accident case resulting in injury or death. My background in motorcycle accidents, and the experiences I've had with those cases, and experience I've had working with insurance companies, has given me a strong ability to make a powerful case on behalf of my automobile accident clients.
29 years
Truck accidents, those involving commercial semis crashing or causing accidents that result in serious injuries and/or death, require knowledge and experience. My law firm is well prepared when it comes to mounting cases against trucking companies.
