With an undergraduate degree in industrial engineering, Jason Proctor brings a unique perspective on problem-solving. In practice since 2013, his main focus is Products Litigation – primarily the defense of automotive and medical device manufacturers.

“My clients can expect me to work tirelessly to achieve their goals and exceed their expectations.”

Jason’s philosophy is simple, “The client’s interests and desires have to come first – period.”
