About
Jason Pottenger
From an early age, Jason Pottenger knew he wanted to spend his life helping people. He grew up watching his father, a physician, and mother, a nurse, build meaningful relationships through their work and make positive impacts in the lives of others. Instead of pursuing a career in medicine however, he found his passion after reading “To Kill a Mockingbird” during his junior year of high school.
“The fact that there was a person who was so well respected in his community—who took a stand and made a difference in his community and the lives of individuals—I thought it was really inspirational and a model for me of what success should be.”

He has obtained verdicts and settlements of one million dollars and in excess of two million dollars.
