Practice Focus & Courtroom Standards
Trial Preparation Starts With Proof.
The cases we publish and the claims we make are limited to what we can document. Trial preparation starts with records, witnesses, expert review, and disciplined proof.
Jason Hicks built this practice on a simple premise: prepare every case as if it will be tested. That approach helps preserve evidence, sharpen valuation, and keep the litigation strategy grounded in facts.
Areas of Focus
- •Catastrophic Trucking Crashes: Evidence preservation, driver records, and black-box data.
- •Civil Rights Violations: Excessive force, deliberate indifference, and jail-death litigation under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
- •Oil Field Explosions: Serious injury claims involving job-site negligence and layered liability.
“The insurance company has unlimited resources. They have teams of lawyers designed to deny your claim. My job is to level the playing field.”

Case Philosophy
How I Approach Litigation
I built this practice on a premise that most firms avoid: every case should be prepared as if it will go to trial. Not because trial is the goal — in most cases, it is not — but because the quality of the preparation determines the quality of the outcome. Insurance companies can tell when a firm is bluffing. They settle for full value when the expert reports are commissioned, the depositions are scheduled, and the trial date is on the calendar.
The cases I take are the cases most firms turn away. Section 1983 jail-death litigation is expensive, slow, and politically difficult. Bad-faith coverage disputes against carriers require resources that solo practitioners cannot front. Trucking evidence disappears within 72 hours if no one moves fast enough to preserve it. These cases are hard. I take them because they matter, and because the families who need representation in these matters deserve someone who is not afraid to fight.
