2023 SUPER P&E
AMorehouse College and Thurgood Marshall School of Law Alum, Keith Jackson has positioned his law practice as one of the most progressive and fastest growing in the metro Houston area. As a trial attorney his law practice focuses on three key areas: criminal defense, commercial contracts and civil litigation, including personal injury and premises liability.
Jackson began his legal career as a corporate contract attorney traveling throughout North America, the United Kingdom and Europe negotiating corporate commercial agreements. After nearly ten years as a corporate counsel working within the oil and gas and hightech markets, he saw an opportunity, as result of corporate reorganization, to open his own firm, B. Keith Jackson Attorney and Counselor at Law PLLC. Because of his keen legal acumen, he was able to start his firm with former corporate clients seeking him to continue to be their corporate counsel in negotiating commercial agreements, including NDA’s, licensing and service agreements as well as for merger and acquisition transactions.
In addition, he has built his criminal defense practice, in large part based on referrals, which has allowed him to build his client base from Galveston to San Antonio to Dallas. Jackson understands that equal justice is not “equal” and works with indigent clients in Harris and Ft. Bend counties. His reputation for zealously advocating and willingness to litigate has allowed him to be one of only a handful of criminal defense attorney in the State to receive a decisive judgement for his client against the United States government in the U.S. District Court Southern District of Houston. The lawyer is admitted to practice in the United States District Court of the Southern and Western District and all Texas and Georgia Courts. In addition, Keith has been appointed as the city attorney for the City of Prairie View, Texas. His civil law practice has allowed him to work with some of Houston’s most high-profile business owners and entrepreneurs. He has represented clients in merger and acquisitions and real estate transactions as well as contract dispute and resolution matters. Whether in pre-litigation, mediation or during trial Jackson has built a reputation with his clients for being prepared, persuasive and persistent in pursuing a positive outcome. The Morehouse alum is affiliated and in leadership positions with the State Bars of Texas and Georgia, Fort Bend Criminal Defense Attorneys Association, 100 Black Men of Metro Houston (Board Member), Houston Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., Houston Alumni Chapter of Morehouse College Alumni Association and Jack and Jill of America Fathers Auxiliary.
Jackson and his wife of nearly 25 years, Dr. Angela C. Jackson, are proud parents of B. Keith Jackson, Jr. and Bryce K. Jackson.
