Excellent Criminal Defense Representation
In the process of trying more than 350 cases in courts around the nation, several high-profile clients have entrusted their criminal defense to Texas defense attorney Frank Jackson.

Won a Not Guilty verdict for the former Assistant Superintendent of the Dallas Independent School District (DISD), charged with defrauding the district out of millions of dollars.

Obtained a Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity verdict for a Texas Instruments employee who, distraught over his daughter's lifestyle, shot her and her friend in the front yard of the friend's house.
Scored an acquittal for a former expert Marine aviator who piloted a Marlin Swaringer airplane on which authorities found 80 pounds of cocaine.
