Meet Jason Swinney

Jason Swinney grew up near his family’s farm in Oldham County, Kentucky.  He received his undergraduate degree with honors from Transylvania University, where he majored in Physics and Spanish. He went on to attend Chase College of Law at Northern Kentucky University, and returned to Louisville after finishing law school.

After beginning his career with a defense firm, Jason developed a talent for seeing both sides of an argument. He utilizes this ability to streamline the litigation process, which helps him to achieve results for his clients as efficiently as possible. He is active in multiple organizations, and previously served as chair of the workers comp section of the Kentucky Bar Association, but his practice for Morgan & Morgan currently focuses on premises liability cases.

Outside of work, Jason enjoys being outdoors and spending time with his wife and two daughters.
