About Jason C. Messenger
Jason Messenger is a Partner in the Firm Focused on Helping Oklahomans & Their Families.
When his Top Gun® inspired childhood dream of being a fighter pilot was quashed by a fear of heights and his need for glasses, he focused on another dream – becoming a lawyer. Jason has been with the firm for nearly 20 years. As one of the firm’s attorneys, he considers himself fortunate to help real people with real life problems.
Jason represents individuals in personal injury and death claims arising from automobile accidents, falls, product liability, nursing home neglect/abuse, and other types of injuries and accidents. He represents victims of sexual assaults that take place in medical facilities and nursing homes. His legal experience includes trial and appellate representation of individuals and small businesses in both state and federal courts.
Jason has been named as one of Oklahoma’s Best Lawyers in America® in Plaintiff’s Personal Injury and Civil Rights and a Super Lawyer® in Personal Injury Law. He was also named a Super Lawyers® Rising Star in Civil Litigation seven times. Each year, no more than 2.5% of the lawyers in Oklahoma receive the Super Lawyer® honor. Before joining the firm, Jason defended insurance companies and their insureds’ litigation. After seeing first-hand how insurance companies often place profits over their customers (and those that work for them), he left that “side of the fence” and now helps those who have been harmed by the actions of someone else.
Outside of the office, Jason enjoys spending time with his family and traveling. He is an ardent fan of the Arkansas Razorbacks and Boston Red Sox. Jason has a goal of seeing a baseball game in every Major League ballpark. For obvious reasons, Fenway Park in Boston has been his favorite.
