Attorney Information
Overview
Jason Plotkin, Esq. is the CEO and Managing Attorney of Pinder Plotkin, a Maryland personal injury and workers’ compensation firm serving clients since 2002. The firm represents injured Marylanders in auto accident, truck accident, motorcycle, rideshare, dog bite, workers’ compensation, and wrongful death matters — recovering millions of dollars each year for hardworking people against insurance companies and defense carriers. The firm operates under its trademarked motto, Hardworking Attorneys for Hardworking People®.
Jason’s approach to personal injury law is shaped by something few attorneys can claim: he has been the client. In his twenties and thirties he survived two serious auto accidents, endured surgeries, and navigated the insurance system firsthand; as a child, he survived a serious dog bite. That firsthand experience with physical pain, recovery, insurance calls, and the long road back is the reason he practices the way he does — and the reason the Pinder Plotkin is built around empathy, accessibility, and the understanding that a client’s case is not paperwork but a life.
Before joining the practice, Jason spent two years investigating insider trading at the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) in its Office of Fraud Detection and Market Intelligence, and four years representing broker-dealer clients in public and private securities offerings. He served as a Judicial Extern for the Honorable Stephen D. Gerling of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of New York and as a Senior Research Associate at the New York State Science & Technology Law Center. He also taught Business Law at Howard Community College in Columbia, Maryland.
Jason is a life member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, a distinction held by fewer than one percent of U.S. attorneys and limited to lawyers who have secured million-dollar and multi-million-dollar verdicts, awards, and settlements. He has been selected to Maryland Super Lawyers every year from 2020 through 2026 — seven consecutive years — and is a current member of the National Trial Lawyers Top 100 Civil Plaintiffs Lawyers, a recognition confirmed on the National Trial Lawyers directory in April 2026. In 2021, Jason received Clio’s inaugural Legal Impact Award — an international honor recognizing law firms making measurable impact in their communities.
Jason is a best-selling author. His 2024 book, Crash Course: To Recovery and Beyond (also available in Spanish as Curso Intensivo: Hacia la Recuperación y Más Allá), chronicles his recovery from two serious auto accidents and serves as a practical guide for accident victims. His earlier consumer guide, The Role of a Chiropractor in Treating Auto Accident Injuries, was a #1 Amazon new release in personal injury law, and his third book, Protecting the Rights of Motorcycle Riders and Their Families, addresses Maryland motorcycle safety and accident recovery. Jason teaches continuing legal education nationally through the National Business Institute, partners with the Maryland Chiropractic Association and APTA Maryland to deliver webinars for chiropractors and physical therapists, and hosts Around Town with the Laurel Board of Trade on Laurel TV.
Jason earned his Juris Doctor with honors from Syracuse University College of Law in 2006, his Master of Business Administration with honors from the University of Baltimore in 2000, and his Bachelor of Science in Marketing with honors from the University of Baltimore in 1999. He maintains an active commitment to community service and comes from a Baltimore family of firefighters.
