About:
I manage a diverse law practice to meet the unique legal needs of individuals. My primary practice areas are in Criminal Defense and Family Law. I have 18+ years of courtroom, trial, and consulting experience in entrepreneurial, small office, and government work environments. My multi-discipline practice in criminal defense and prosecution, family law, and environmental regulatory consulting (non-legal) provides me with a diverse and robust background that aids me in all my cases. Along with experience working at my own firm, I have worked at the Collin County District Attorney’s office, where I was responsible for investigation and prosecution of atypical criminal offenses. Because of this experience, I have extensive trial, jury selection, and investigation experience. My practice has evolved with experience, I represent clients in family law, divorce, child custody and property matters and continue to represent clients in complex criminal matters. I graduated from Texas Tech University with a Bachelor of General Studies, and graduated cum laude (with honors) from the Texas Tech University School of Law. I am admitted in the courts of Texas, Colorado, U.S. District Court Eastern Texas, U.S. District Court Western District Texas, and the State Bar of Texas in the Criminal Justice and Family Law sections.

"Giving a one star for now because… we haven't yet recieve any follow up on our scheduled consultation appointment that was supposed to take place last week. Somehow, our appointment was forgotten, and given our efforts to call and follow up… the promise of “we’ll get back to you” has yet been fulfilled."

"If you need a pit bull, hire Jerry! Dealing with someone as manipulative and corrupt as my ex-husband, I needed someone vicious and he was certainly it. I cannot speak highly enough of my experience with Tidwell law. From the very beginning of what turned out to be a long and emotionally grueling divorce and custody battle, he was a steady, confident, and fiercely dedicated advocate on my side. He listened attentively to my concerns, understood exactly what was at stake, and worked tirelessly to ensure that I received everything I asked for—not out of entitlement, but because it was fair, just, and in the best interest of my child. What mattered most to me was the safety and well-being of my daughter. Jerry made that his top priority, and thanks to his diligence and deep understanding of custody law, appropriate and protective custody arrangements were secured. I am at peace knowing my daughter is safe and supported, and I owe that to his unwavering commitment and legal skill. If you're going through a difficult divorce or custody dispute, I wholeheartedly recommend Jerry!!"

"I had the unique perspective of standing by my friend through every step of her long, exhausting divorce—and I can say with absolute confidence that Jerry was nothing short of exceptional. From the very first court appearance to the final ruling, he brought not only expert legal guidance but unwavering confidence in Kelsey’s right to justice. Her ex-husband tried relentlessly to drag both her and her daughter through the mud, using every trick in the book to shift blame and distort the truth. But Jerry never flinched. He stayed composed, sharp, and always ten steps ahead. His preparation was meticulous, his courtroom presence commanding, and above all, his commitment to Kelsey and her daughter’s best interest never wavered. Thanks to Jerry’s tireless work Kelsey walked away with everything she righteously deserved. He gave her back her peace, her power, and her future. Jerry is the lawyer you want by your side!"
