Jason Doucette

Jason Doucette is a trial lawyer based in Los Angeles, California, where he serves as Partner and Chief Trial Attorney at The Dominguez Firm. He focuses on personal injury litigation and holds the largest jury verdict in Monterey County history — a $46.8 million award in a workplace electrocution case.

Jason Doucette was born and raised in Montana, where he spent time on his family’s ranch and wrestled from age three through college. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in History-Political Science, with a minor in Philosophy, from Jamestown College, where he competed as a National Qualifier and Academic All-Conference wrestler. He went on to earn his Juris Doctor from The University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law, graduating with honors in 2009 and serving as a staff writer for the Arizona Law Review.

Early in his career, Doucette attended the Gerry Spence Method’s trial-skills program at Thunderhead Ranch in Wyoming, completing both the intensive and graduate programs. The training shaped an approach to trial work centered on narrative — the belief that compelling storytelling, not procedural mechanics, determines how juries assess the full scope of a client’s loss.

That philosophy has produced results. In a five-week trial in Monterey County, California, a jury awarded his client $46.8 million for a workplace electrocution resulting in chronic pain syndrome, traumatic brain injury, and cardiomyopathy, and awarded the client’s wife an additional $4.5 million for loss of consortium, with full liability assigned to the defendant. The verdict stands as the largest jury verdict in Monterey County history. His case record also includes a $7.3 million jury verdict in a trucking accident case, a $6.4 million settlement in a car accident matter, a $2,466,734 jury verdict in a slip-and-fall case involving a transverse patella fracture — a judgment that grew to $3.7 million after a pretrial statutory offer — and a $1 million jury verdict in a car accident case. Multiple verdicts from his practice have been ranked among California’s Top 100 Jury Verdicts.

Doucette has been recognized within the plaintiffs’ bar for his trial record. He was named to the Super Lawyers list for 2025 and 2026, received the Gerry Spence Method’s 2025 Alumni Civil Trial Warrior of the Year Award, and was nominated for Trial Attorney of the Year by the Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles. He is a member of the California State Bar and the Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles.

He has presented and published on trial technique, including “Voir Dire and Opening: Telling a Simple, Compelling Story” at Trial Lawyers University in New York, “Master Storytelling: How to Win Trials and Influence Jurors,” “Preventing the Abuse of the Sudden Emergency Doctrine” in Plaintiff Magazine and Advocate Magazine, and “Workplace Injuries & Privette Doctrine” for the Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles.
