San Angelo Attorney Jessica C. Skinner

Jessica Skinner is a respected and seasoned trial attorney proudly serving San Angelo, Tom Green County, and the surrounding communities. Known for her strategic, disciplined advocacy, she is a straightforward communicator who helps clients navigate complex legal matters with clarity, confidence, and compassion. Whether representing individuals, parents, families, or children, Jessica is committed to ensuring her clients feel informed, empowered, and supported through every step of the legal process.

A graduate of Austin College with a degree in art, Jessica earned her law degree from Baylor Law School in 2010. She is Board Certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization—an honor held by fewer than 1% of attorneys in Texas. Early in her career, she practiced law in Waco and served as the Practice Court Associate for Baylor Law's nationally recognized Trial Advocacy Program. She later returned to private practice, reestablishing her firm in San Angelo, where she continues to provide high-level representation in family and criminal law matters.

Beyond the courtroom, Jessica has demonstrated a long-standing commitment to service and ethics in the legal profession and the broader community. She has served in various local leadership roles and currently holds the position of Chair of the State Bar of Texas District 15 Grievance Committee. She frequently lends her insight and guidance to local organizations in informal advisory roles.

Jessica's approach to the law is grounded in fairness, preparation, and principled leadership—values shaped by her background in competitive athletics and her deep commitment to community. As a mother of three school-aged children, she understands the real-life impact legal decisions have on families. Outside the courtroom, she can often be found on the sidelines or in the dugout, coaching and cheering on her kids. Clients and colleagues alike value her clear judgment, steady presence, and practical perspective—especially during life's most challenging moments.
