About Jason
Jason McCoy is an attorney based in Connecticut who has combined legal work, public service and courtroom practice over a career spanning more than two decades. He has a background in English and political science and moved on to study law in two states before joining the Connecticut bar. He also served one term as mayor of Vernon in 2007, a role that put him in the center of local governance and municipal decision-making.
He earned a Bachelor of Arts in 1995 from the University of Connecticut, where he studied English and political science. He later attended the University of San Francisco School of Law in 1996 and completed his legal education with a Juris Doctor from Western New England University School of Law in 1998. Those academic stops reflect a period of study on both coasts before he returned to practice in Connecticut.
McCoy was admitted to the State Bar of Connecticut in 1998 and has maintained membership there since. Early in his career he moved between transactional work and courtroom practice. Public service entered his resume in 2007 when he served as mayor of the Town of Vernon, a post that involved managing municipal affairs and interacting regularly with local constituents.
In private practice he has maintained offices in Vernon and Hartford. His files have included personal injury civil suits, criminal defense matters — including DUI cases — and bankruptcy and real estate matters. He has been active in trial work and in representing clients at different stages of litigation, from pretrial motion practice to court hearings and jury trials.
Professional affiliations have been a steady part of his profile. He is listed in the American Association for Justice President’s Club, is a member of the Connecticut Trial Lawyers Association and belongs to the Million Dollar Verdict Forum. Those memberships sit alongside his long-standing State Bar of Connecticut membership, which dates from his admission in 1998.
Colleagues and opposing counsel describe him as familiar with courtroom procedures and municipal issues, and comfortable handling disputes that can move from negotiation to trial. He has balanced public responsibilities and client work across municipal and civil settings.
He continues to practice in Connecticut, handling civil litigation, criminal defense and related matters from his offices in Vernon and Hartford. His current practice focuses on personal injury, criminal defense including DUI, bankruptcy and real estate matters.
