Jason Sosa

West Texas Values. When It Matters Most.

Jason Sosa is a partner and trial attorney at Webb, Stokes & Sparks, LLP, where he represents individuals and families in serious personal injury, catastrophic injury, and wrongful death cases. With more than a decade of courtroom experience, Jason has built his career on preparation, perseverance, and an unwavering commitment to the people he represents.

Jason understands that a serious injury or the loss of a loved one can forever change a family’s future. He believes every client deserves an attorney who will listen, understand what has been lost, and devote the time and attention necessary to pursue accountability.

For Jason, effective trial advocacy begins with thorough preparation, connecting with his clients, and the ability to tell a client’s story with honesty and conviction.

A Foundation of Discipline and Service

Raised in a military family, Jason learned the values of hard work, integrity, discipline, and service from his parents. His father served as a fighter pilot in the United States Air Force, instilling principles that continue to guide Jason’s personal and professional life.

Jason attended Texas A&M University, where he lettered in Cross Country and Track & Field. After earning his undergraduate degree from the Mays Business School, he continued his education at Texas A&M, earning both a master’s degree and a Ph.D. in Sport Management.

He subsequently joined the faculty at Rice University, where his passion for teaching and mentoring continued to develop. His desire to serve others more directly eventually led him to the practice of law.

Jason earned his Juris Doctor from Thurgood Marshall School of Law, graduating magna cum laude.

A Career Built in the Courtroom

Jason began his legal career at the Harris County Public Defender’s Office in Houston before returning to West Texas to serve as First Assistant at the Concho Valley Public Defender’s Office in San Angelo.

During approximately ten years in public defense, Jason represented individuals facing serious criminal charges, gaining extensive courtroom experience in complex and high-stakes cases. That work sharpened his skills in cross-examination, evaluating evidence, and communicating difficult issues to juries. More importantly, it reinforced his understanding that every case involves a person whose future may depend on the quality of their representation.

Today, Jason applies that experience to representing plaintiffs in personal injury and wrongful death litigation. He approaches each case with careful preparation, sound judgment, and a willingness to challenge powerful interests when necessary.

Leadership in the Legal Profession

Jason’s commitment to the legal profession extends beyond his courtroom practice.

He serves on the Board of Directors of the State Bar of Texas, representing District 19, and on the Board of Directors of the Texas Trial Lawyers Association. He is also a graduate of the Texas Trial Lawyers Association’s LEAD Academy.

As a graduate and faculty member of the Trial Lawyers College, Jason helps train and mentor attorneys in trial advocacy. He has taught at legal education programs across the country, sharing his experience in jury selection, cross-examination, witness preparation, and courtroom communication.

Jason also holds the ACS Lawyer-Scientist designation, reflecting his specialized training in the evaluation of scientific evidence and expert testimony.

Deep Roots in West Texas

For Jason, San Angelo is more than the community where he practices law. It is home.

Both of his parents graduated from San Angelo Central High School and Angelo State University, establishing family ties to the Concho Valley that span generations.

Jason is a graduate and instructor of Leadership San Angelo and an active member of Rotary. He is involved in community service, youth activities, and his church, believing that service to others is a responsibility that extends well beyond the courtroom.

His Catholic faith and commitment to his family remain central to his life. As a husband and Dad, Jason understands the importance of family and the uncertainty that follows an unexpected tragedy. That perspective shapes the way he approaches his clients and the responsibility entrusted to him.

Whether representing a client, mentoring a fellow attorney, or serving his community, Jason remains guided by the same principles instilled in him from an early age: work hard, treat people with respect, stand by your convictions, and never forget the people you serve.
