I couldn't have found a better representative for our situation. Mr. VanZant took a case most firms wouldn't touch and got us a substantial win considering the charges. His attention to details and ability to work with our financial situation gave us a second chance. Hands down the best attorney I'm Grayson county.

Jackie has always been there for us when we have needed him. He listens and always gives it to us straight. We couldn't have done several of our law needs without him. He is always willing to answer our questions and guide us as needed. We appreciate him so much.

The Vanzant team was quick and helpful. They were very responsive & helped to get the best for me!

Jackie is an amazing attorney. He has helped my family out in a criminal matter. He has always been honest, up front, and very informative. When talking to him it doesn’t feel like you’re talking to an attorney; it feels like you’re talking with one of your closest friends. He cares about you as a person and wants to get you the best possible out come of the situation. If you need an attorney Jackie is the one to reach out too. If I or my family are ever in need of an attorney again Jackie is the way to go!

My case had been pending for a few years and I ended up using two different lawyers prior to Jackie. One day I received a text message 'reminder' from the Attorney General that I had a hearing in two days. Excuse me, no such information was ever provided to me about this hearing. I never felt like there was a connection or that the previous two lawyers were actually advocating for my rights or even worried about me as a person. Luckily it didn't matter because literally the day before my Final Trial, I reached out to Jackie VanZant. We were both thinking that with him being new on my case that the trial scheduled for the next day might be reset. I only had a brief 30 minute consultation with Jackie, so how could he be ready for a trial against my ex-wife, her well-known local attorney and the attorney general in less than a day away?! Well, we arrived at Court the next day, and were informed that the trial was moving forward! Uh-oh...Jackie was only armed with the info I gave him the previous night, and a pen and some scratch paper. To say I was nervous was an understatement! However, Jackie literally just sat there and focused on every single question and answer that my ex-wife was telling her lawyer (while she was on the stand). When it was Jackie's turn to cross-examine her, that was when the show began! Jackie caught her in several inconsistencies and it was great because FINALLY someone was asking her the right questions and putting a stop to the downright lies she had been saying about me! When Jackie was done with her, she left the witness stand and she definitely did not have that same smirky smile that she initially had! Then the home evaluator was called to the witness stand and my anxiety returned because Jackie never got an opportunity to even read the lengthy report! How was he going to know what to ask her? I kept trying to whisper some facts to him that I thought might help, but he calmly and collectively whispered to me "I got this." Then it was his turn to cross-examine once again, and again, he turned up the heat when needed and got her to admit (despite her report) that I am a good father and deserve the maximum visitation! It really did feel like I was sitting there and watching the movie of my own trial! By the time it was my turn to testify, I felt about as cool as a cucumber because I knew the truth had finally come out! Her lawyer sure did try to get under my skin, but Jackie would chime in with 'Objection' every once in a while, and it worked by actually getting under the lawyer's skin! At the end of it all, the Judge was about to make his ruling and my anxiety quickly returned, But then came the news. I got a 50/50 visitation with my daughter!!! This is VERY hard for dads in Texas! Also, my child support stayed where I wanted it to (my ex AND the attorney general were trying to get it to DOUBLE), and the Judge actually ordered me and my ex to take steps in co-parenting. I actually thought that was a nice touch, because at the end of it all, it's not about 'winning in court.' It really is about the best interest of our daughter. However, that being said, after three long years, and two previous attorneys (of making me feel like I was always in the dark and not really advocating for what I was needing), I am so glad I found the perfect attorney for me. I knew Jackie VanZant for less than 24 hours but he took the info I gave him, and he turned around and literally won everything I was hoping for, plus a few things I didn't even know I could get! I know that sounds like a line from a commercial, but it's literally the truth. My ex was furious! When the Judge was giving the ruling, my ex was getting so upset that she literally had to be excused from the courtroom because she was nauseous and getting sick!!! I couldn't believe it! There will never be another time that I walk into any courtroom without Jackie VanZant with me...and his pen and scratch paper! A HUGE thankyou to Jackie!!!

Jackie assisted me in getting my deep lung device removed early successfully. Great job and knows his stuf..

Mr. VanZant handled a family case for me and I am happy to recommend him. Not just an attorney, but a true counselor. He took measures to keep me and my family safe and completely eliminated any contact with the opposing party for me. Mr. VanZant was professional, kind, and looked out for me and my best interests. I am so happy I hired someone so skilled and knowledgeable to handle something I could not. I was confident in his abilities and comforted by his compassion.

I have been using Jackie for a family law case for a few years now and I would go back to him in a heart beat if I needed too. Jackie has been not only a great attorney, but also a great friend. He listens, gives honest feed back, and will fight to the end to make sure his clients have a good outcome. I talked with a few attorneys before coming to Jackie's office but none of them treated me like a VIP client the way Jackie did. I highly recommend Jackie VanZant if you're needing representation.

Was devastated when I got arrested for DWI. Never been in trouble with the law before, and was mortified when I got this charge. Especially knowing how tough Texas is on DWIs. I heard Jackie specializes in DWI defense, so I met with him and two other lawyers. All three seemed to know what they were talking about, but talking with Jackie was the same as talking to a friend. Very laid back, which helped my mindset with the stress. By the time we went to the first few court hearings, Jackie kept resetting my case and working deal after deal with the DA on my case. The DA finally made a pretty good offer, and although I thought it was a good deal, Jackie explained one more option to get an even better one…He wanted to have a hearing and let the Judge decide…this sounded risky at first, but Jackie explained the entire process and we went over the pros and cons…I ultimately agreed, and today we went to our hearing…Jackie and the DA gave their opening statements, I was called to the stand, Jackie and the DA were both asking me questions, and then Jackie gave a great closing statement! It really was like something you see in the movies!!! The Judge took a recess, and came back to tell me if I completed some probation and paid a small fine, then the DWI would NEVER go on my record! It would be a DISMISSAL! Wow!!!  Usually even with probation, a DWI in Texas still stays on your record! Can’t thank Jackie enough for everything his office did for me!

As an educator, I’ve always taken pride in my profession as well as having no criminal history. That is why it came as a huge shock to me that I was given a citation for an incident that I was unaware of, and never arrested on! Regardless, it’s always scary to be in the crosshairs of the court. My supervisor recommended I call Jackie VanZant. I am certainly glad I did! Nervous and not even knowing what to expect, Jackie showed up to my court hearing, he walked in to speak with the Judge and the Prosecutor for a few minutes, and when he came back out, he told me about how my case is being dismissed! It seriously went just like that! Hands down good lawyer and also seems like a good guy! If you are reading this, then you must be looking for an attorney. Do yourself a favor and stop looking and reading, and just call!

When my divorce was filed, I was extremely nervous as to what type of visitation I would get with my son. I had always heard horror stories about Texas being a “mommy state.” I hired Jackie, and he kept my expectations set, and got me through the process with much more than I expected! Couldn’t have been more pleased with the results! Nobody looks forward to needing legal representation, but if you do, call Jackie. He is very down to Earth, doesn’t drown you in empty promises or legal jargon!

A respectful professional, knowledgeable, straight shooter with a gentle demeanor handling delicate issues. Would highly recommend!
