Jason DeSouza
Managing Attorney
I am the firm’s founder and lead trial attorney. I founded this firm on the principle that people injured because of someone else’s carelessness deserve aggressive representation. I have a proven track record in court, prevailing against some of the largest insurance companies and corporations in the United States and worldwide, on the simple idea that I will get the best settlement for you based on your injuries or I will try your case to a jury. I charge no fees or expenses unless we collect money on your behalf.The firm is focused exclusively on personal injury litigation and we represent clients injured in the oilfield, injured by 18 wheelers or company vehicles, and those injured by slip and falls.

After representing defendants for seven years, Scott moved to Corpus Christi and began representing individuals that need guidance and counsel in an effort to obtain the compensation they deserve after being injured due to a company’s or individual’s negligent acts.Scott enjoys representing the individuals and leveling the playing field when an insurance company refuses to fairly and justly compensate the individual. Scott eventually moved back home to continue representing individuals against those that caused injuries. He enjoys traveling the State of Texas assisting Jason DeSouza in his dogged and persistent pursuit of justice on behalf of injured individuals.
