Biography

Jack Clapp is the kind of veteran trial lawyer you want in your corner when things get complicated. As Senior Litigation Counsel at Senft Legal, he brings more than 30 years of experience to the table, having tried over 150 cases to verdict. We’re talking about massive, high-profile litigation, including the United 232 crash and the Sea World boat landing incident. Jack doesn’t just know the law, he knows how to win in front of a jury. His career is full of accolades, including being named Lawyer of the Year by Ohio Lawyers Weekly, and he’s licensed to practice across Oregon, Montana, and Ohio. Before he was a legal powerhouse, Jack served as a professional firefighter and EMT. That background in emergency service says a lot about his character, he’s calm under pressure and naturally dedicated to helping people in their toughest moments. Whether he’s navigating complex multi-district litigation or fighting for an individual client, Jack’s strategic approach and leadership make him an invaluable asset to our team.
