Jackie Wayne VanZant began his legal career in 2012 when he became employed at The Law Office of Jennifer Richarsdon as a legal researcher and trial assistant specializing in Family Law in Collin County.
Jackie continued pursuing his passion to work in the legal field, so while hosting a radio show in the afternoons, he earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science with a Minor in Criminology. Shortly thereafter, Jackie attended and graduated law school at South Texas College of Law/Houston.
After earning his Juris Doctorate (law degree), Jackie returned to North Texas and began working at the Nix/Poet Law Firm in 2015 to expand his career by including his heavily studied field of Criminal Law.
After working at Nix/Poet for two years, Jackie decided to “hang his own shingle,” and opened his own firm in Downtown Sherman, Texas, where he currently services Grayson, Fannin, Collin, and surrounding counties in Criminal Defense, Family Law, Landlord/Tenant Law, and Personal Injury Litigation.

An excellent attorney
This attorney was a great advocate for my son who was facing possible jail time and insurmountable fines. He was able to get him a very good deal through the DA and his jail time was taken off the table, given a fine that was attainable and a probationary time that was workable. I would gladly refer ...

Absolutely the BEST!
“I was served a lawsuit, and I live out of State. I had no idea what was even going on, or what I need to do! It was scary simply because I don’t know what to do about Court!
