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.

Best help you could ask for
I recently hired Jackie, and by recently I mean before covid shutdown court. Through all the wait time to get to court he was on top of my case 100% of the time.

Dismissed!
I was served papers that I was being sued for $250,000. I was absolutely terrified and had no idea how I needed to properly respond to defend myself.

Mr Van Zant went above and beyond my expectations. We discussed the case outcome I was satisfied and got a better deal. Most important to the results was the professionalism and major help from Linsy .Linsy is a major player to the Van Zant Team .
