Jason J. Joy

Attorney Jason J. Joy is a third-generation trial attorney. Born and raised in rural south Louisiana, Mr. Joy enlisted in the U.S. Army after graduating from college and served his country on active duty as a special operations soldier in the elite 75th Ranger Regiment. Mr. Joy volunteered for and successfully graduated from the most difficult and grueling courses in the United States military, and in October of 2001, he was among the select few soldiers who earned the coveted Ranger tab. After serving with distinction, Mr. Joy was honorably discharged from active duty and attended law school on the G.I. Bill, earning an academic scholarship. He graduated from Loyola Law School and completed his final year as a visiting student at Fordham Law School in Manhattan.

During law school, Mr. Joy worked at a prestigious plaintiffs’ firm in Houston, where he played a significant role in one of the largest commercial cases in the country, which evolved into a highly complex insurance coverage dispute. This early exposure to high-stakes litigation set the foundation for a career defined by strategic thinking, aggressive advocacy, and a commitment to justice.

Mr. Joy received his law license in 2007 and, after practicing at one of the nation’s most successful litigation firms, founded Jason Joy & Associates, P.L.L.C., in 2009. Since then, he has become a nationally recognized leader in complex civil litigation and mass torts.

In 2020, Mr. Joy negotiated some of the largest individual settlements in the Roundup mass tort litigation, securing historically high recoveries for hundreds of clients. He also served as co-counsel in two high-profile jury trials in the Bard IVC Filter litigation, both of which resulted in multimillion-dollar verdicts.

Mr. Joy currently represents thousands of survivors of childhood sexual abuse across multiple states. His firm is actively involved in litigation against multiple religious institutions and youth organizations, including ongoing cases against clergy and other institutional actors. Mr. Joy has become a leading national advocate for survivors of child sexual abuse and was recently in Austin, Texas, meeting with lawmakers and advocacy groups to support legislation aimed at eliminating the statute of limitations for childhood sexual abuse claims.

With a reputation for tireless advocacy, exceptional results, and a deep commitment to justice, Mr. Joy continues to lead high-impact litigation that gives voice to survivors and holds powerful institutions accountable.
