When your client is going through the worst moment of their life, being their lawyer sometimes means doing more than practicing law.

On Episode 284 of The Lawyer Stories Podcast with Benny Gold, we sit down with Jason DeSouza, Founder and Lead Trial Attorney at DeSouza Injury Lawyers in San Antonio, Texas, to talk about his journey from Toronto to Texas, discovering his calling in the courtroom, and building a personal injury firm from the ground up.

Jason started his firm in 2015 with just himself and a paralegal. Today, he leads a team of roughly 30 representing people in serious injury, trucking, oilfield, and catastrophic injury cases throughout Texas.

But Jason's story is really about people. His blue-collar upbringing shaped the way he represents clients and his commitment to communities that larger firms can sometimes overlook. At one point, that commitment even meant lending his own car to a client who needed help.

We talk about scaling a law firm without losing the personal connection, becoming a better trial lawyer, standing up to corporations and insurance companies, leadership, and why Jason believes a person's life can never simply be reduced to a number on a spreadsheet.
