Attorney Jason E. Payne, a Port Arthur, Texas native, has established himself as a formidable presence in the legal community with a focused practice in personal injury and wrongful death cases. He is the founder and senior shareholder of Payne Law Firm, P.C., based in Houston, Texas, and covers all aspects of personal injury.
Mr. Payne began his academic journey at the University of Houston, earning a bachelor’s degree in political science in 1999. During his undergraduate studies, he gained invaluable experience interning for state representatives Garnet Coleman and Sylvester Turner, providing him with early insights into the intricacies of law and governance. Continuing his education at the University of Houston Law Center, he graduated in 2002 and went on to enrich his academic credentials with a Master of Business Administration degree from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University in 2011.
Commencing his legal career at a law firm where he practiced until 2004, Mr. Payne then took a significant step in his career by founding Payne Law Firm, P.C., in Houston, Texas. His practice not only addresses complex personal injury and wrongful death matters but also includes representation of Fortune 500 clients, demonstrating his ability to handle high-stakes litigation.
Licensed to practice in Texas and New York, Mr. Payne has also been admitted to practice before prestigious courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court and several U.S. district courts. His legal acumen is recognized by his board certification in personal injury trial law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization since 2010.
Mr. Payne has been honored with a “Superb” rating on Avvo. Beyond his legal practice, he is dedicated to his community, advising small businesses and serving as a political consultant.
