Jackson is an associate attorney at Piskel Yahne Kovarik, PLLC. Jackson practices in the areas of civil litigation, including contract disputes and personal injury cases.

Jackson was born and raised in rural Oregon near The Dalles, where his mother served as a state court judge and his father maintained a personal injury law practice and operated small commercial sweet cherry orchards. Jackson’s childhood was spent working in the orchards and developing a keen interest in the outdoors. This interest ultimately led to his receipt of a bachelor’s degree in Fisheries and Wildlife Science from Oregon State University and five years of employment with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Having inherited his parents’ passion for the law, Jackson returned to school in 2021, enrolling in Gonzaga University School of Law. During law school, Jackson worked as a law clerk for two firms in Oregon and as a Washington Rule 9 Intern for a civil litigation firm in Longview. In his final semester, Jackson gained valuable experience behind the bench while clerking for Spokane Superior Court Judge Tony Hazel. Jackson graduated with honors from Gonzaga Law in 2024, earning his Juris Doctor.
