Jason Greaves

Significant Cases 

• Davis v. Cisneros, No. 1:21-cv-565-RP (W.D. Tex., Sept. 23, 2024). In a massive jury-trial victory for free speech over lawfare, Mr. Greaves represented a husband and wife, who were sued because of their political advocacy for President Donald J. Trump. They were organizers of a weekly “Trump Train” during the 2020 presidential election, and members of their group joined in a caravan that followed a Biden/Harris campaign bus as it drove through Texas. Plaintiffs and their sponsors invested millions of dollars in an army of high-priced attorneys, forensic specialists, private investigators, and experts to sue under a bogus legal theory of “conspiracy” under the KKK Act. After a two-week trial, the jury returned a defense judgment, fully vindicating Mr. Greaves’s clients, along with three co-defendants.
• Silk Road Tranz Inc. v. Payne Trucking Co., No. 3:24-cv-13-REP (E.D. Va., Dismissed Aug. 7, 2024). Represented a trucking carrier who was accused online of engaging in fraudulent conduct by a transportation broker. Mr. Greaves filed a defamation lawsuit in federal court in Virginia, which was resolved to the parties’ mutual satisfaction.
• Bostic v. Daily Dot, No. 1:22-cv-158-RP (W.D. Tex., Dismissed Apr. 2, 2024). Filed a defamation lawsuit in federal court in Texas against a media company who had accused Mr. Greaves’s client of being an “architect of the insurrection” on January 6, and that he had “organized riots.” The case was resolved to the parties mutual satisfaction, and the article was clarified.
• Flynn v. Stern, No. 8:22-cv-1250-TPB (M.D. Fla., Dismissed Jan. 24, 2024). Represented Lt. General Michael T. Flynn, U.S. Army (ret.), in a defamation lawsuit, filed in federal court. Despite the significant burden for a public figure of needing to prove actual malice, Mr. Greaves successfully negotiated a $150,000 settlement for his client, before the defendant had even filed an answer to the lawsuit.
• Johnson v. Bella Gravida LLC, No. CL-2019-17643, 2023 WL 6217007 (Va. Cir. Ct. Sept. 25, 2023). After a three-day jury trial, Mr. Greaves obtained complete and total vindication for his client, an e-commerce entrepreneur, who was sued by investors over the failure of her new venture. The plaintiffs had sued her and her company for fraud in the inducement, conspiracy, breach of contract, and violation of the Virginia LLC Act. Not only did Mr. Greaves win at trial, but he won a post-trial motion for sanctions against the plaintiffs’ attorney because, as the judge found, the allegations were “wholly unfounded as a matter of fact and law.” The judge awarded Mr. Greaves’s client $243,101 in attorney fees—a rare and extreme remedy.
• Represented contractor in complex construction defect litigation. Successfully discredited all five of plaintiff’s expert witnesses on cross examination in multi-day arbitration. After testimony of the defendant and the defense expert, obtained dismissal of all counts.
• Successfully defended large retailers in multiple premises liability trials.
• Represented multiple personal injury plaintiffs, obtaining favorable results both in prelitigation negotiations and at trial.
• Represented numerous defendants in personal injury litigation for insurance carriers, both as in-house counsel, and later for a private firm as panel counsel. These cases ranged from run-of-the-mill fender-benders to catastrophic loss and wrongful death cases. Extensive experience in deposing medical experts, mediations, settlement negotiation, and dozens of trials.
