Jason Oxner – Attorney – Partner

About Me

Attorney Jason Oxner primarily practices civil law, with a focus on Civil Litigation, Business Transactions, Estate Planning, Asset Protection, and Consumer Rights.

Attorney Jason Oxner earned his Master of Laws (LL.M.) from St. John’s University School of Law in New York on a scholarship after completing his Juris Doctor. He graduated summa cum laude in the top 5% of his class from Thurgood Marshall School of Law, where he served as an Associate Editor on Law Review, was elected Mr. Thurgood Marshall School of Law, and worked as a Real Property Tutor. Before law school, Jason attended Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, and initially moved to the United States from Canada on an academic and athletic (hockey) scholarship at the Groton School in Massachusetts. Attorney Oxner is licensed in both Texas and Nova Scotia, Canada.

Prior to cofounding Oxner Legha, PLLC, Jason worked in the Athletic Department at West Virginia University, as a business attorney negotiating a new baseball stadium lease, vendors contracts, and other business law transactions. Jason worked directly under the then Athletic Director, Oliver Luck, to secure a minor league baseball stadium agreement, among other major transactions.

Jason then moved back to Texas and began his litigation career in personal injury, medical malpractice, and business litigation at the oldest personal injury firm in Texas. In the first few months of practice, Jason and his supervising attorney won over three million dollars for their client at trial.

Baylor College of Medicine hired Jason to represent doctors and researchers at St. Luke’s Hospital, Baylor College of Medicine, and Texas Children’s Hospital during the negotiation phase of new drugs and devices with private pharmaceutical companies. Jason also helped Baylor and its doctors implement a new contract tracking system to ensure that all negotiations contained the university’s core material terms.

Today, Attorney Jason Oxner is a cofounding partner at Oxner Legha Law Firm in Houston, Texas. He represents individuals, business owners, and continues to represent doctors, with a recent negotiation involving NASA and the International Space Station.

Jason’s clients appreciate his diverse employment background, his record in obtaining verdicts for his clients, and his ability to implement new technological advancements into the practice of law.

Jason continues to play hockey, serve as a Global Advisor to Nova Scotia Business Inc., Secretary to the Thurgood Marshall Bar Excellence Project, mentor students and law students, and other volunteer and board memberships.

Jason is licensed in the State of Texas and is a member of the State Bar’s Business Law Section, Real Estate and Probate Section, and Consumer & Commercial Law Section.  Jason is also licensed in Nova Scotia, Canada where he resides, but commutes back and forth to Houston.
