CHRISTOPHER P. JAMESON
Chris has always valued education as a means of understanding the world and relationships. His formal institutional education started with attendance and graduation from the U.S. Naval Academy. That was followed by military service in the U.S. Marine Corps which included a combat tour of duty in Vietnam. Upon his return to the continental U.S. he attended and graduated from the George Washington University School of Government and Business Administration with a Master’s degree in International Commerce. His next school he attended was Southern Methodist University Law School from which he graduated with a law degree.
Chris has developed a wide and deep experience in dispute resolution through litigation and mediation. In addition, he has helped numerous clients to start, develop, and maintain their business. This practice includes the formation of the entities, drafting and interpreting contracts that impact the business, and the resolution of problems that arise on a daily basis with an ongoing business.
Because of his education, experience, and reputation, Chris has attained the highest rating of “AV” issued by the Martindale Hubbell Legal Directory in the United States. Community involvement is important to Chris because he wishes to “give back” to various public service organizations that exist in the Dallas area. To that end he has participated in the Optimist Club, youth sports coaching, alumni associations, school booster and fundraising boards, organizations supporting the blind and local catholic charities.
Born in Long Beach, California, Chris, Sr. is married to Dr. Sheila R. Jameson, a marriage and family therapist in private practice. Together they have two sons who are both attorneys in private practice.
