John Jackson

I was born and raised around Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. That is where I developed my strong work ethic. I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh and The George Mason University School of Law in Arlington, Virginia. Immediately after graduating from law school, I worked as a Legislative Assistant to The Honorable Frank Mascara, a Congressman for the Southwestern corner of Pennsylvania, in his Washington, DC. I advised Mr. Mascara on legislation pertaining to insurance, banking, agriculture, and Constitutional Law. Mr. Mascara�s office was well regarded for helping constituents cut through bureaucratic red tape. This is commonly known as casework. I am very proud to say that I helped with my fair share of casework. I coordinated the Community Oriented Police funding for the office, helped bring federal disaster aid to Mr. Mascara�s congressional district after disasters, and assisted various business constituents seeking federal aid. After leaving Mr. Mascara�s office, I worked for a well-respected healthcare receivables management company pursuing wrongfully denied and delayed claims for acute care hospitals nationwide. Just prior to working independently, I worked in the healthcare receivables management company�s legal department. In the legal department I worked only the most complicated, highest balanced claims. Typically, the claims worked by the legal department had already been through the lower level departments and were not resolved to the client�s satisfaction. Often the claims were well over $100,000.00. My office now represents business, individuals, and hospitals with many general legal concerns ranging from First Amendment issues to social security disablity to insurance problems to helping set up small businesses.
