About David
Biography
Ranger Jackson is a Partner and trial attorney who provides sophisticated, tech-forward advocacy in Criminal Defense, Personal Injury, and Complex Civil Litigation. Admitted to practice in Florida (2013), California (2020), and Colorado (2022), Ranger offers a rare, multi-jurisdictional perspective that serves a diverse client base across state lines.
Ranger’s foundation as a trial lawyer was forged as a prosecutor in both the San Francisco Bay Area and Florida. Having successfully prosecuted a vast spectrum of cases—including white-collar crime, DUI, domestic battery, and murder—he possesses an extensive trial background and the veteran experience required to take complex cases to verdict.
A CIPP/US (Certified Information Privacy Professional/United States), Ranger bridges the gap between high-stakes litigation and emerging technology. As the former Head of the Electronic Investigations Unit in Pinellas County, he collaborated with state and federal agencies and tech giants such as Google and Facebook. He now leverages this specialized mastery of digital evidence and data privacy to provide a decisive competitive edge for his clients.
Ranger is proficient in Spanish, enabling him to provide direct, competent counsel to people from all walks of life. A former Academic All-American athlete and magna cum laude graduate, he brings a relentless, discipline-driven work ethic to every case he handles.

I called Mr. Jackson at a pretty low point after my arrest. He picked up, stayed calm, and told me exactly what to do next. That kind of response when I was panicking mattered a lot to me
