Stephens Law Firm PLLC

United States 2026

Overview

Stephens Law is one of the premier plaintiff's personal injury and wrongful death trial firms in Texas. Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Fort Worth, the firm was built on a single principle: that seriously injured people and grieving families deserve the same level of legal firepower that corporations and insurance companies deploy against them.

The firm focuses exclusively on catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases with a heavy focus on truck accidents and commercial motor vehicle wrecks — the cases that demand the most from a legal team and matter most to the families who bring them. These cases involve powerful trucking companies, complex multi-party investigations, aggressive insurance defense teams, and billions of dollars in corporate assets arrayed against ordinary people at the worst moments of their lives. Stephens Law was built specifically to meet that challenge and to deliver justice to individuals and families.

The results speak for themselves. In 2025, the firm secured two of the largest truck accident settlements recorded in the state of Texas — a $64.5 million wrongful death settlement (over $43M paid to clients after fees and expenses) and a $54.7 million settlement (over $33.6M paid to clients after fees and expenses), which stands as the largest personal injury settlement in Tarrant County history. In 2022, the firm obtained the number one electrocution verdict in the United States and the largest personal injury verdict in Grayson County history. The firm's record-setting verdicts and settlements extend back to 2004 when it obtained the 5th largest verdict in Texas and the 47th largest verdict in the United States. Across more than two decades of litigation, Stephens Law has recovered in excess of $300 million for injured clients and their families.

The firm is led by founding partner Jason B. Stephens, one of the most decorated plaintiff's trial lawyers in Texas and the United States. In 2024, Jason was inducted as a Fellow into the American College of Trial Lawyers — an honor reserved by invitation only for the top one percent of trial lawyers in the United States. He has been named a Texas Super Lawyer for 23 consecutive years, recognized in the Top 100 Super Lawyers statewide and across the Dallas/Fort Worth region, and selected as a Top 10 Trucking Trial Lawyer nationally. He holds a perfect 10.0 AVVO rating, an AV Preeminent peer-review designation, has been recognized by Best Lawyers in America since 2016, and is a member of the American Board of Trial Advocates.

What distinguishes Stephens Law is not only the scale of its results, but the way it operates. The firm deliberately limits its caseload to ensure every client receives direct, personal attention from Jason and his team — the firm is not a settlement mill where clients are merely case numbers. Indeed, the Stephens Law Team treats each client like family and takes the trust of its clients seriously and personal. Families who come to Stephens Law during the most difficult chapters of their lives find a team that is fully invested in their outcome, from the first conversation through the final resolution.

Stephens Law Firm does not handle routine cases. It handles the ones that matter most — and it has built one of the most respected plaintiff's practices in Texas doing exactly that.
