Jason M. Hatfield

Jason M. Hatfield is the founding partner of his firm and has devoted nearly 30 years to representing injured individuals and families throughout Arkansas. His practice focuses on personal injury, workers' compensation, and other complex injury-related matters involving serious workplace accidents, motor vehicle collisions, defective products, third-party liability claims, and insurance disputes. Throughout his career, he has been committed to helping clients navigate challenging circumstances while pursuing the compensation they need to move forward.

A native of Rogers, Arkansas, Jason's understanding of the challenges facing working families comes from personal experience. Beginning at the age of fourteen, he worked a variety of jobs, including newspaper delivery, retail work, food service, construction, and poultry processing. Those experiences provided firsthand insight into the physical demands placed on workers and the financial hardships that can follow a serious injury. They continue to shape his approach to representing injured workers and their families today.

Jason earned all three of his degrees from the University of Arkansas, receiving a Bachelor of Science in Microbiology, a Master of Science in Food Science, and a Juris Doctor from the University of Arkansas School of Law. His graduate research was published in the Journal of Food Quality, and his scientific training gives him a unique advantage when analyzing complex medical records, workplace hazards, impairment issues, and expert testimony.

Over the course of his legal career, Jason has handled hundreds of depositions, bench trials, and jury trials in Arkansas state and federal courts. He has successfully litigated cases involving catastrophic injuries and has obtained significant appellate victories before the Arkansas Supreme Court and Arkansas Court of Appeals. His experience both at trial and on appeal has earned him a reputation as a skilled and determined advocate for injured clients.

Jason's professional accomplishments have been recognized by numerous legal organizations. He is the recipient of the 2026 Roxanne Wilson Award from the Arkansas Trial Lawyers Association and has been selected to Super Lawyers, including recognition among the Top 50 Attorneys in Arkansas. He has also earned an AV Preeminent® Rating, been recognized in The Best Lawyers in America, and was named among WILG's Top 100 Injured Workers Attorneys.

In addition to maintaining an active trial practice, Jason has dedicated substantial time to the legal profession through leadership and service. He has served on the Board of Governors of the Arkansas Trial Lawyers Association, the Board of Trustees of the Arkansas Bar Association, and as Past President of the Washington County Bar Association. Through these roles, he has worked to promote professional excellence and advance the interests of both attorneys and the clients they serve.

Outside the practice of law, Jason remains involved in his community. He serves on the Board of Directors for Kids' Chance of Arkansas, an organization that provides educational opportunities for children whose families have been affected by serious workplace injuries or fatalities. He also serves on the Selection Board for Habitat for Humanity. When not practicing law, he enjoys spending time with his family, traveling, fishing, working outdoors, and supporting the Arkansas Razorbacks and Kansas City Chiefs.
