“I’m pleased to be on the Connatser team. These are outstanding individual family lawyers who can work well together or separately when necessary.”

He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in English at Baylor University in 1998. Jere possesses language skills that make him an expert communicator in the courtroom.
