For 25 years Jason Wood has dedicated his career to fighting for the rights of ordinary people against abuse of power by government, insurance companies, and big moneyed interests. He enjoys putting the justice system to work for those who have nowhere else to turn. His clients are “we the people” described in the Constitution, and our “neighbors.” All too often, those we pay to protect our interests end up serving only themselves. For example, the insurance company of one of Mr. Wood’s clients refused to pay her the life and accidental death benefits she was entitled to when her beloved husband died, because the company wrongly claimed that the death might have been a suicide. None of the other law firms she consulted believed she had a case because of a federal statute that stacks the deck against her and you. Then she went to Jason Wood. He obtained a judgment against the greedy insurance company for almost $500,000.
