Jackson Montgomery came to Pine Valley when his brother Travis was running for the senate, to purportedly handle his campaign funds. Jack accepted illegal bribes and did everything he could to undermine his brother's efforts as payback for the death of their sister, Christine. Jack had been blamed for the boating accident, but it had actually been Travis who was at fault.
Jack fell in love with Travis' wife, Erica, and the two had a clandestine romance behind Travis' back. When he found out, he divorced Erica and sued for custody of their daughter. Erica lost feelings for Jack when he refused to lie about their affair at the custody hearing. Jack, although still in love with Erica, had a brief fling with Brooke English.
Laurel Banning appeared in Jack's headlights one night and became a permanent fixture in his life. She had an autistic daughter by a previous marriage, and Jack came to love Lily as though she were his own. The relationship lasted until Laurel's ex-husband showed up and threatened Laurel's life. She killed him, and despite Jack's legal position, he helped hide the body. When the truth came out, Jack was disbarred temporarily.
He and Laurel stayed together until she fell in love with Trevor Dillon, then Jack stepped aside so the two could marry. Jack turned his attention to his career, won a few high publicity cases, and became Pine Valley's District Attorney.
His romance with Erica was rekindled when he represented her for kidnapping, and even though she was still sent to prison, Jack became a frequent visitor. Although there have been a string of men in Erica's life, she gravitates back to Jack. Mike Roy, Dimiti Marick, Adam Chandler, and many others have held her attention, but Jack seems to hold her heart. Although they have been through many obstacles, they finally married. The family grew as Jack adopted a young man named, Reggie, discovered he had Greenlee, a grown daughter by Mary Smythe, and Lily came home to live.
Always protective of Lily, her recent involvement with Jonathan Lavery was very disturbing to Jack. Despite his objections, the two married and moved in together. However, when Jonathan's brain function returned to normal, Jackson assumed that Jonathan had been lying to Lily all along and caused them to split. When Jonathan saved Lily from a would-be rapist, Jack apologized, finally understanding that Jonathan had been truthful and really cared about Lily. Unfortunately, she couldn't accept their differences and preferred to remain at home with her father and Erica.
With nephew Sean coming to stay, Erica announced that she needed some time and space for herself to plan for the sweeps week on TV. She moved into the Valley Inn, conveniently close to her newfound son, Josh, and her old husband, Jeff Martin. After continual pleas for her to come home, Jack finally had all her belongings delivered to the hotel. However, Sean and friend Colby Chandler teamed up to find a way to get Erica back home in time for Christmas by sending her romantic gifts. On Christmas, Erica and Josh showed up for the Montgomery gathering, and she and Jack seemed to be on their way to making amends until he invited her to a holiday musical and she announced she had already been invited by Jeff.
Jack struggled with his feelings and finally was ready to let Erica go because he didn't want to play her games. Then Jeff left town and Greenlee returned; Erica couldn't find their way back to one another because of Greenlee. They did become friends, though, and Jack stood by Erica when she was arrested for insider trading. Erica convinced him to take on Carmen's case, too, after the two were found running from the law. Jack did and discovered he liked Carmen; they began dating.
Erica didn't like that and tried to break them up. She also began dating Adam. Seeing that he was still in love with Erica, Carmen broke up with Jack.

Annie and Scott are at the Chandler Mansion discussing Adam loaning money to Slater. Annie wonders how Scott can let his happen! Scott says she's a murderer, and she's fine with Adam giving his money to her! Annie says she loves Adam and will always stand by him. Scott wonders why she's so concerned about what his uncle is doing with his money? Just then, Jackson arrives. He tells her that Dr. Nolan found her competent to stand trial. She wants to take off the ankle monitor. Jack tells her that she is facing a list of charges!
Adam gets home as Jack is telling Annie that she will probably get some jail time. Adam is certain that he can persuade the judge otherwise. Jack then tells them that he will be leaving the country. Annie kisses Adam and says, "Who needs a lawyer when I've got you?" Annie runs off to get a picture of the wedding dress she wants, and Scott asks Adam if he really intends to pay off a judge! Adam says she deserves some peace. Scott says that all that talk about becoming a better man because of Stuart, was just talk then - he's subverting the legal system! Scott tells his uncle that he and Annie deserve each other! Adam asks Scott if he really expects him to believe he hasn't broken any commandments himself - such as coveting someone's wife, or lying! Scott tells him where to get off!
Jack greets Adam after he comes out of the room with Annie. Jack needles him about having a rendezvous with his accused killer. Jack wonders if this is a lover's spat, and whether Adam truly thinks she's guilty?! Jackson goes in to see Annie, who protests that she's innocent. She tells him that Zach did this to protect Kendall. Jack muses that they also covered up the fact that Kendall was driving when Greenlee was run off the road - he agrees to be Annie's lawyer! Annie urges Jack to go look in Kendall's eyes - she has the eyes of a killer! Annie says she should know, since she has them too!
At Fusion, Kendall says she can't just ignore that she killed a man, and Zach pinned it on someone else! Erica says that Annie Lavery is going to prison for what she did - Kendall needs to refocus! Kendall says she's going to the police station right now, but Erica protests that she can't do that - she can't live without her! Erica sobs that they've found something wonderful, and she's not prepared to give that up! Jackson comes in. He announces that he has a new client - Annie Lavery! Erica flips, asking how he could do this - how could he take her side against Kendall? She then spits that this is payback - he lost his daughter and now wants to make sure that she loses hers! Jackson denies it, and Kendall leaves. Jackson tells Erica that Annie sent him to look in Kendall's eyes, but one look in Erica's tells him everything he needs to know!
Jackson shows up at the courthouse where Liza and Zach are still talking. He announces that he's representing Annie. Jack tells Zach that he knows he framed Annie, and he's not going to get away with it! Jack lays into Zach, bringing up the Greenlee coverup as well. As Jack hisses that Zach framed Annie too, Aidan appears and says, "You're wrong. Zach wasn't there - he was with me!"
