Since graduating law School Jason has represented the residents of northwest Arkansas in hundreds of depositions and bench trials. He has tried numerous cases to jury in Arkansas Circuit Courts and Federal Courts. He has successfully reversed trial court rulings at the Arkansas Supreme Court and the Arkansas Court of Appeals. In 2009, Jason completed a three-week jury trial fighting against the improper usage of cancer-causing carcinogens in which his closing argument was quoted by New York Times bestselling author David Kirby in his book, Animal Factory.
Jason has a passion fighting for justice and fairness for Arkansans who have been injured at no fault of their own. He is not afraid litigating injury cases that need to be litigated and shaping the law on tough issues. Additionally, he has worked long hours attempting to educate legislators on the negative effect proposed workers’ compensation bills would have on injured workers and has testified multiple times to legislative committees in an attempt to keep a level playing field.
