At Shartzer Law Firm, LLC, based in Indianapolis, Indiana, Jason A. Shartzer has built a diverse and dynamic legal practice centered on advocating for individuals and families facing life-altering circumstances. His areas of practice span animal bites, brain injury, motor vehicle accidents, personal injury (both defense and plaintiff representation), premises liability for plaintiffs, slip-and-fall incidents, trucking accidents and wrongful death claims. This broad scope of experience has positioned him as a well-rounded litigator capable of navigating complex injury-related matters from multiple angles.
Mr. Shartzer's academic journey reflects a commitment to both intellectual rigor and service. He earned his Juris Doctor from Thomas Jefferson School of Law in San Diego, California, in 2002, following a Bachelor of Arts degree in history from Loyola University New Orleans in 1998. His early education took place at Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School in Indianapolis, where he graduated in 1993, an institution to which he remains connected today.
Admitted to the Indiana State Bar Association in 2003, Mr. Shartzer is also authorized to practice before the U.S. District Courts for the Northern and Southern Districts of Indiana. His professional excellence has earned him significant recognition, including being named among the "Top 100 Trial Lawyers" and "Top 40 Under 40" by the National Trial Lawyers in 2014, as well as "Top 40 Litigation Lawyers Under 40" by the American Society of Legal Advocates in 2013 and 2014. He also received the Distinguished Fellow honor from the Indianapolis Bar Foundation and holds an AV Preeminent* peer-review rating through Martindale-Hubbell.
Beyond the courtroom, Mr. Shartzer is deeply engaged in community service, serving on the Brebeuf Alumni Board and the Indiana Trial Lawyers Association Board of Directors, while also contributing to local youth and neighborhood organizations, reflecting his commitment to giving back to the Indianapolis community he serves.
