About Jason

Jason counsels insurers regarding their evaluation and investigation of complex and/or questionable insurance claims.  He partners with adjusters and special investigators in their search for the facts they need to fully and fairly analyze coverage questions — while simultaneously ensuring compliance with the various laws and regulations governing the insurance industry.

A strong competitive drive and a love for battling in front of crowds fueled Jason as a scholarship wrestler in college. Those same characteristics propelled him into the courtroom. He is a litigator at his core. Passionate, confident, and quick on his feet, Jason feels the tumblers fall into place when the gavel hits the block and the bailiff instructs “All Rise.”

Jason has won jury verdicts in federal and state court, successfully defending his clients against everything from felony charges in criminal cases to civil lawsuits alleging breach of contract and insurer bad faith. Jason also wins for his clients before cases get to trial, often prevailing on dispositive motions to secure his clients’ dismissals. Jason naturally gravitated to the defense bar, but his style is aggressive. He’s just built that way.
