Texas Trial Lawyers
Wilshire & Scott P.C., a Houston-based law firm, practices civil trial and appellate law with an emphasis in the areas of business, commercial and corporate litigation. The firm's clients range in size from large publicly traded corporations to closely held growth firms and individually owned businesses. The philosophy of the firm is that successful dispute resolution will be achieved when the controversy is managed by the most qualified attorney backed by well-trained personnel and advanced technology. The practice of law at Wilshire & Scott is built upon a solid foundation of academic excellence, specialization, continuity and experience. With that base, the firm stands committed to the creative, effective and successful representation of its clients. Wilshire & Scott is constantly striving to continue to earn the honors it has received.
We are civil trial and appellate lawyers whose practice has been built on the esteem of other lawyers. Many of our clients have come, in the first instance, as referrals from other members of the bar. Over the years many attorneys have regularly entrusted their most valued clients to us when litigation needs arose. The firm's clients are located throughout Texas and the United States and represent a multiplicity of industry sectors. In addition, many of our clients have been lawyers. The first new client that retained our firm was an attorney, and, through the years, more than 100 lawyers, including entire firms, have entrusted their personal law suits and disputes to Wilshire & Scott. We are both proud and humbled by this fact.
From inception, the firm has concentrated and generally restricted its practice to civil business litigation and controversy resolution. Since the founding of Wilshire & Scott in 1986, we have been privileged to represent clients that have retained us in matters that extend across the full panoply of business disputes, covering the broad range of business litigation: contracts, real estate, landlord-tenant, securities, oil and gas, banking and finance, business torts, insurance, employment, professional services, food service, construction, and environmental management. Our practice has entailed the representation of clients in a number of venues in state and federal trial and appellate courts.

Jackie Scott was born and raised in Iowa and lived in California before moving to Texas. She obtained her undergraduate degree at Stephen F. Austin State University where she graduated with honors and was in Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities. In 1978, she graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Houston College of Law. While in law school she was a research editor for the law review, a member of the Order of the Barons honor society and served as an intern with the Harris County District Attorney's office in the juvenile courts.
Upon graduation she joined and became partner at a mid-size Houston firm. In 1986, she joined Gene Wilshire, Joseph J. Halbach (currently Judge of the 333rd District Court of Harris County, Texas) and Pat Dyer in forming what was then known as Wilshire Scott Halbach & Dyer P.C. There she continued her business litigation and appellate practice with an emphasis in banking, mortgage lending, private mortgage insurance and employment related controversies.
Jackie has been Board Certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization in Civil Trial Law from 1984 to 2009 and in Civil Appellate Law from 1987 to 2009. Jackie has authored and lectured at continuing legal education programs and is a Houston Bar and Texas State Bar Life Fellow.
In 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009, Jackie was named a Texas Super Lawyer in the field of business litigation by the publishers of Law & Politics magazine and Texas Monthly magazine.
*Effective Fall 2009, Jackie's employment with the firm is that of limited special counsel, as she is currently a full-time special education teacher in the public schools. Jackie has therefore limited her law practice to periodic special assignments as a part time employee of the Firm.
