Biography
Bonnie J. Jackson is an attorney and shareholder in Jackson Law International. Her law practice focuses on general civil and commercial litigation, including premises liability, malpractice, and general negligence, as well as business torts, breach of contract, landlord/tenant disputes, covenants not to compete, insurance disputes, construction litigation, and real estate litigation.
Mrs. Jackson is a graduate of South Texas College of Law (J.D. 1995), and Texas A&M University (B.B.A. 1991). In law school, Mrs. Jackson served as a Director for the Board of Advocates, competed in state and national mock trial competitions, and received honors for her speaking and advocacy skills.
Following law school, Bonnie J. Jackson served as an Assistant District Attorney in Houston, Texas where she prosecuted felony, misdemeanor, and juvenile crimes, and prepared reply briefs to post-conviction capital and non-capital writs of habeas corpus. In 1998, Mrs. Jackson relocated to Florida and focused on private practice in the area of general commercial litigation. She has significant jury trial experience, and has also handled bench trials in her areas of expertise.
Ms. Jackson‘s poise, grace, and comfort level in the spotlight began to develop even before law school, as she was the winner of the Miss Wisconsin – USA Pageant in 1986. As Miss Wisconsin, she then participated in the 1986 Miss USA Pageant along with notable participants such as Halle Berry. These qualities – learned early in her life – have served her well in front of numerous juries and in the course of high-stakes litigation matters.
As a result of her work on behalf of her clients, Mrs. Jackson has been inducted as a Life Member into The Million Dollar Advocates Forum, one of the most prestigious groups of trial lawyers in the United States, and also as a Life Member into The Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum, an even more select group of attorneys. Membership is limited to attorneys who have won million and multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements, respectively. Fewer than 1% of U.S. attorneys are members of either group.
