Meet Jason
When I take on a case, my client's problem becomes my problem, and I am driven to righting that wrong.
Jason Stephens leads Stephens Law Firm, PLLC, a Fort Worth, Texas, practice that represents people with serious personal injury claims and families in wrongful death cases, with a focus on trucking crashes. The firm also lists offices in Weatherford and Mineral Wells, and he limits his caseload to a select number of matters.
His bio reports nearly three decades of trial work and more than $300 million recovered for clients. In 2004 he won what Texas Lawyer ranked as the fifth-largest jury verdict in Texas and the National Law Journal ranked 47th nationally, and in 2012 he obtained the eighth-largest motor vehicle verdict in Texas. In 2022 he secured a wrongful death verdict the firm describes as the largest personal injury verdict in Grayson County, Texas, and an electrocution verdict that Top Verdict ranked first in the nation that year.
