Craig A. Jackson

Board certified in family law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, Craig A. Jackson brings nearly three decades of dedicated experience to Varghese Summersett in Southlake, Texas. As a partner at the firm, he provides strategic representation across the full spectrum of family law, navigating complex property division, high net worth divorces, prenuptial agreements and post-decree modifications. He also adeptly handles child custody, support, father’s rights, mediation, enforcement and appellate matters, delivering knowledgeable guidance tailored to each client's unique needs.

Mr. Jackson earned his undergraduate degree in psychology from the University of North Texas before graduating with a Juris Doctor from Baylor University Law School in 1996. Licensed in Texas that same year, he served as an associate judge for Tarrant County’s 360th District Court prior to joining his current firm. Known for his fairness and docket efficiency, his judicial experience evaluating evidence and weighing testimony gives him invaluable insight, making him an effective advocate and mediator for his family clients.

In his mediation practice, Mr. Jackson believes parties deserve better than unprepared mediators, poorly framed issues and rushed agreements. He takes a meticulous approach, devoting focused time before every session to thoroughly analyze case details, pinpoint key disputes and build strategies that facilitate productive negotiations. By anticipating challenges, he conducts efficient, meaningful mediations that honor the hard work of the attorneys involved and ultimately bring lasting, final resolution to complex family law cases.

Approaching each case with the deep understanding that no two families share the exact same dynamics or goals, Mr. Jackson rejects generic, one-size-fits-all legal strategies. He takes the time to listen closely, evaluate individual circumstances and craft tailored solutions aligned with each client's priorities. Whether navigating high-conflict custody disputes or complex financial divisions, he personalizes his counsel to protect what matters most, providing focused, compassionate guidance through life’s toughest transitions.
