A native of Dallas, Jeff Rasansky earned his law degree at Southern Methodist University (Dedman School of Law) in 1990 after receiving his undergraduate degree from the University of Texas in Austin.

Jeff began his law career working for a prestigious national law firm defending insurance companies and large businesses, including hospitals and doctors.

But in his heart, Jeff knew that his passion wasn’t in defending large corporations; it was in helping injured victims through some of the most difficult times in life. Every day, Jeff tries to make a positive difference in the lives of his clients, and utilizes his skills to effect change in corporate policies and procedures.
