Description

In this episode of Celebrating Justice, we dive into the career and advocacy of Texas-based trial lawyer Jason DeSouza. From his beginnings in Toronto, Canada to settling into San Antonio, Texas, Jason shares his journey from considering tax litigation to becoming a champion for personal injury clients in underserved communities.

He recalls his transition to plaintiff work, driven by his passion for fighting against insurance companies and corporations that mistreat individuals who lack resources. Jason recounts powerful client stories, including how he once lent his personal car to a client in need and emphasizes how his blue-collar upbringing and family experiences motivate him to serve those who are often neglected by the system. In his Closing Argument, Jason highlights the reality of how corporations and insurers devalue human lives and explains his commitment to exposing their negligence in court.
