About Chris
Chris Jackman builds a practice on courtroom work and organization. He runs a small firm and handles cases that often land in state and federal court. He pares arguments down to essentials and prefers direct engagement over legal theater.
Jackman took a steady path through higher education. He earned a bachelor’s degree from Texas A&M University in 2005. He then completed a master’s degree at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee in 2009. He finished his law degree at Creighton University School of Law in 2012.
After law school, Jackman headed into practice and eventually established The Jackman Law Office, PLLC, where he serves as managing partner. He appears in Washington courts and holds admission to both the Eastern and Western Districts of Washington State federal courts. His role at the firm combines case work, client counseling, and the administrative duties of running a small legal practice.
Outside the office, he is active in professional organizations. He chairs the Civil Rights Division committee for the Washington State Young Lawyers Association. He serves on the editorial board of the Washington State Association for Justice and participates on that group’s New Lawyers Recruitment Committee. He also holds an Eagle membership in the Washington State Association for Justice. He is a member of the King County Bar Association, the Washington State Bar Association, and the American Association for Justice.
Colleagues describe him as someone who invests time in bar activities and in preparing younger lawyers for trial work. His committee work in the Young Lawyers Association reflects an interest in civil rights issues and in mentoring newer attorneys. Serving on an editorial board has kept him involved in the professional conversation about practice developments and trial techniques.
His day-to-day work blends litigation tasks and client-facing responsibilities. At his firm he manages case strategy, oversees litigation filings in state and federal court, and handles settlement negotiations when cases move in that direction. He also allocates time to bar service and committee projects that relate to civil rights and access to the courts.
He lives in Washington and continues to build his practice through courtroom work, bar service, and firm management. His practice concentrates on civil rights and litigation in both state and federal courts.
