Why Choose Stephens Law Firm, PLLC?

Stephens Law is the kind of firm you want when the other side is going to fight to the end. Jason Stephens's election to the American College of Trial Lawyers is a peer-recognized credential held by less than one percent of practicing lawyers — it signals trial-readiness, not paperwork. The firm focuses on catastrophic injury and wrongful death, the cases where settlement value depends on the credible threat of trial. Hourly rates aren't relevant here — it's contingency. Best fit if your case is severe, your damages are high, and you need a firm that has actually tried cases to verdict.

What Clients Say

Client
Patricia L.
Wrongful Death · Grayson County
★★★★★
After my husband was electrocuted on the job, I didn't know who to trust. Jason and his team treated us like family. They built the case from scratch — experts, depositions, exhibits — and got us a $15M verdict. They didn't just settle; they actually tried it.
Client
Robert C.
Truck Accident · I-20
★★★★★
Hit by a truck near Weatherford. Two prior attorneys turned my case down. Stephens Law pulled the federal logs, deposed the company safety director, and uncovered a logging violation. They knew exactly what they were doing.
Client
Lisa M.
Oilfield Injury · West Texas Operator
★★★★★
My brother was hurt working on a Barnett Shale rig. Stephens proved the operator violated OSHA standards and recovered enough to support him through years of rehab. Best decision we made.

FAQ

Common Questions About This Firm

What is the American College of Trial Lawyers?
ACTL is an invitation-only honorary association. Fellowship is limited to less than 1% of the practicing bar in any state and requires extensive jury-trial experience, demonstrated ethics, and peer recommendation. It signals that other trial lawyers consider this attorney elite at trying cases — relevant when your case may not settle and may require an actual jury verdict.
Does Stephens Law take cases other firms have rejected?
Sometimes. The firm focuses on serious injury and wrongful death, which means cases with substantial damages, complicated liability, or strong defendants. If your case has been turned down for being 'too complex' rather than too small, the firm's trial-focused practice may take a second look.
What kinds of cases does the firm typically handle?
Wrongful death, 18-wheeler and truck wrecks, oilfield and industrial accidents, brain and spinal-cord injuries, electrocution and burn cases, and catastrophic auto crashes. The firm doesn't take soft-tissue or low-damage cases — those are better served elsewhere. Cases tend to involve serious injury, contested liability, or commercial defendants.
How long do these cases take?
Most catastrophic-injury cases take 12 to 36 months from intake to resolution. Pre-suit settlements are faster (6–12 months); cases that go to trial run longer (18–36 months). Stephens Law builds cases as if they will go to trial, which is partly why insurance companies often choose to settle before that point.
Is the office accessible?
Yes. The firm is at 1300 South University Drive, Suite 300 in the Cultural District, with parking available. Home and hospital visits are also available for clients with mobility limitations following catastrophic injury. Phone (817) 420-7000.
