He is licensed in Texas and New York.
Jennifer M. Rynell, a partner, was selected to Texas Super Lawyers for the first time in 2026 after seven consecutive years on the Texas Rising Stars list (2009–2015). Her practice focuses on intellectual property litigation, general commercial litigation, and mergers and acquisitions.

Selection to Super Lawyers and Rising Stars
Selection to Super Lawyers begins with nominations from practicing lawyers and includes independent research and peer evaluation before a final review by a panel of attorneys. Super Lawyers, a Thomson Reuters rating service, recognizes no more than 5 percent of lawyers in each state. Rising Stars recognizes no more than 2.5 percent of lawyers who are 40 or younger or who have been in practice 10 years or less. The lists are published in Super Lawyers magazine and as a special advertising section in Texas Monthly.
The 2026 honors add to a series of individual distinctions earned by Wilson Whitaker Rynell lawyers, including prior Super Lawyers and Rising Stars selections and Mr. Wilson's board certification in family law.

"These honors belong to the clients who trust us with their businesses, families, and ideas," said John T. Wilson, founder and managing partner of Wilson Legal Group P.C.
