About Jane M.
Jane M. Gekhman practices law in Texas and has built a career that combines private practice management with active participation in the state bar community. She moved into firm leadership in 2018 after several years working as an associate. Her path has been steady and practical, shaped by day-to-day client work and service on professional committees.
Gekhman began her post-law school career as an associate at Yale Law Group in 2011. In that role she handled case preparation, client intake and legal research while working under more senior attorneys. The position gave her hands-on experience in managing client matters and the procedural work that supports litigation and transactional files alike.
In 2018 she became the managing lawyer at JMG Legal PLLC. As a managing lawyer she combines casework with administrative responsibilities. She oversees the firm’s operations and workflow while continuing to appear for clients and manage files. Colleagues describe her approach as methodical. She balances office leadership with maintaining direct client contact.
Beyond her practice, Gekhman has been active in bar organizations for more than a decade. She has been a member of the Denton Bar Association since 2010. She joined the Texas Bar College and the District 14 Grievance Committee in 2020 and continues to serve on both. Her service on the grievance committee places her at the intersection of professional responsibility and discipline, work that involves evaluating complaints and contributing to the standards that govern lawyers in the region.
Those roles have given her a broader view of how the legal system operates, both for practitioners and for clients. She brings that perspective back to her practice. She also participates in local bar events and professional education programs, keeping current on procedural developments and professional obligations.
Gekhman’s professional life centers on running a small firm while staying engaged in the wider legal community. Her contemporaries note that she pays attention to the details that keep a practice running and to the ethics issues that shape how lawyers serve the public. She approaches matters with a practical mindset and an emphasis on steady case management.
She currently practices at JMG Legal PLLC, handling matters on behalf of clients in Texas.
