Jason Itkin is known nationwide for winning record-setting verdicts and settlements. Jason is the only lawyer in the country who has won more than one billion-dollar verdict for a single person. He has also won several verdicts and settlements for more than $100 million, dozens of verdicts and settlements of more than $10 million, and hundreds of verdicts and settlements for more than $1 million. In the last year alone, Jason has won more than $1 billion in verdicts and settlements for his clients. Jason won these victories in courtrooms across the country—having represented clients in all 50 states.
Jason’s results have led him to receive many awards, including recognition on various lists of Best Lawyers, Super Lawyers, and others. While Jason has always been honored to be included on those lists, his greatest honor was being selected as a member of the Inner Circle of Advocates. The Inner Circle’s membership is comprised of the top 100 trial attorneys in the United States. Jason was selected to join the Inner Circle before the age of 40, making him the elite organization’s youngest member.
Jason has been asked to work on the country’s highest-profile cases. If the case is in the news, Jason has likely been asked to help. He has won verdicts against chemical companies, pharmaceutical companies, and energy companies. These game-changing victories have made lasting changes in society and improved public safety.
Jason also works on important cases that don’t always grab headlines. For example, Jason achieved a $72 million voluntary settlement for a single injured worker. At the time, that victory was the largest pretrial settlement for a single person in Texas history. Less than one year later, Jason broke his own record when he secured an $86 million voluntary settlement for a different client who was suffered devastating injuries while working. Since then, Jason and the firm have broken the $86 million dollar record multiple times.
Jason has achieved record-breaking settlements because sophisticated companies realize that their results at trial could be much worse. Jason recently tried a case where an insurance company refused to make a fair settlement offer to his client. The company’s short-sighted settlement position changed after Jason finished cross-examining the company’s “star witness.” After the cross-examination, the company fired its long-time lawyer in the middle of trial. The next day, the company settled the case for nearly double what Jason’s client would have settled for pretrial. The company also formally apologized to Jason’s client.
Results like these are why other law firms frequently ask Jason to work on their cases. More than 200 different law firms have hired Jason as trial counsel. Lawyers across the nation know that having Jason Itkin on their team increases the likelihood of winning a large verdict or settlement.
As an honors graduate from the University of Texas School of Law, Jason was awarded the Dean’s Achievement Award in Professional Responsibility. In college, he studied under the Plan II Honors Program, serving as President of the Silver Spurs, and graduating with special honors.
Jason is married to Kisha Itkin, President of Theorem Vineyards and Theorem Ranch. Together, with their children, the Itkins are active members and proud supporters of the Houston, Napa, and Montana communities through the Arnold & Itkin Foundation.
