Jason Messenger, Richardson Richardson Boudreaux

In this episode of The Good Fight: Stories from the Plaintiff Side, ClaimData CEO Jason Heinze speaks with Tulsa trial lawyer Jason Messenger about his path from insurance defense to nearly two decades fighting for injured clients and their families.

In this conversation, we explore:

• How starting his career on the defense side shaped his perspective and what it took to make the switch to plaintiff work
• The pivotal deceased inmate case that other firms rejected, and how it became a watershed moment in his career
• The emotional challenges of representing families in wrongful death cases, and why listening matters
• Why plain talk always beats legalese when connecting with clients and juries
• How he's building his firm for the future, from mentoring younger lawyers to carefully integrating AI tools

Jason's dry humor, compassion and plain-spoken expertise make him an outstanding advocate for all the clients fortunate to work with him.
