About my practice

We are a full service estate planning & elder law practice.

My mission is to help you preserve the legacy of your family.

Hi, I’m Jessica Swann Rymer-Hawkins and I’m the founder and managing attorney of The Law Office of Jessica Swann Rymer. I am  licensed to practice law in Texas, and I’m a Texas Bar College Member as well as a member of the State Bar of Texas, the State Bar of Texas Probate, Trusts and Estates Section, the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) and the Texas Chapter of NAELA.

I have served as an Attorney Ad Litem in Harris County Probate Courts and District Courts, and I’m also licensed to practice before the United States Supreme Court and the United States Tax Court.

I received a B.B.A. in Accounting from the University of Houston and graduated from South Texas College of Law. I also hold a Diploma in International Trust Management from the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP), which is a global professional body comprising lawyers, accountants, trustees and other practitioners that help families plan for their futures.

Following my passion and love of cooking and service to others, I became a certified chef, graduating from The Art Institute of Houston with a degree in Culinary Arts after law school. Prior to starting my own law firm, I worked in the insurance and banking industries, where I gained extensive experience as an accountant, auditor and private banker. 

I spent about 11 years with JP Morgan Chase Bank in the corporate trust administration and taxation area, 5 years with a national tax firm, gaining valuable experience working with both taxable and tax-exempt entities and about 4 years working for an offshore private bank and trust company in The Bahamas where I administered many trusts and companies with more than 700 million dollars in assets under administration.

I am active in the community as well, having served as a board member of several non-profit organizations and churches in the Greater Houston area. I have volunteered many hours with the Tahirih Justice Center, where I currently serve as a pro bono attorney working on behalf of immigrant women and girls fleeing violence and seeking justice.

Focus

We'll help you discover your most pressing concerns and goals, working with you to design a comprehensive plan to help you address every one of them.

Reputation

I know that you have a choice when it comes to your estate planning needs which is why my practice is focused on providing you with the best service possible from beginning to end.

Feedback

Client Feedback

I felt secure in my decisions with Jessica's guidance. I highly recommend her.
I have been Jessica's client for over 6 years. She assisted me with the probate and administration of a family member's estate, crafting my own estate plan and even preparing my tax returns and dealing with other IRS matters. Jessica's services are superb and she does the best job possible. I really appreciate Attorney Jessica so much!
