3/21/2026
A lifelong resident of Tarrant County, Jess Gambrell brings broad experience and practical perspective to his criminal defense practice. Before entering the legal field, he spent ten years in logistics management, developing strong skills in problem-solving, accountability, and communication—qualities that continue to shape his work with clients today.
Jess previously served as an Assistant District Attorney in Tarrant County and as an Assistant County Attorney in Williamson County, where he prosecuted cases ranging from minor offenses to serious felonies. That experience gives him valuable insight into how the State evaluates and builds criminal cases.
Now focused on defense, Jess approaches each matter with careful preparation, strategic analysis, and clear, straightforward guidance. His courtroom presence reflects confidence earned from years on both sides of the system.
Jess earned his Juris Doctor from Baylor University School of Law and holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Pitzer College. He is licensed to practice in Texas and the Eastern District of the United States and is an active member of the Texas Bar College and the Tarrant County Bar Association.
For Jess, criminal defense is not just a profession, but a commitment to protecting individual rights and ensuring fair treatment under the law.
