Jason graduated from the University of Illinois College of Law in 2004. He holds a Bachelors of Arts in Government from Cornell University, where he concentrated his studies in the law and its effects on public policy, economics, and other disciplines. He is licensed to practice in the State of Illinois as well as the federal courts.
Jason began his career as an Illinois Assistant States Attorney has brought his extensive trial experience to his foreclosure practice, having represented clients in more than 40 Illinois counties and having conducted hundreds of trials across the state.
After incorporating Residential Real Estate into his practice in 2008, Jason transitioned to personal bankruptcy and foreclosure defense, helping hundreds of homeowners keep their homes during the impending mortgage foreclosure crash. In his bankruptcy practice, he has handled more than 1,000 cases, many of which were born out of a desire to save the consumers' homes. Jason has returned to a residential real estate practice and now incorporated his additional experience as a licensed real estate broker after joining Dream Town Realty in 2017.
The Van Hemert Law firm is poised to, once again, come to the aid of those homewowners struggling to retain their home after the harsh economic effects of the pandemic.
