This lawyer is the best. He even spent all weekend looking over our custody case right after his new baby was born. He came up with creative ways to call my husbands ex wife out. She didn’t get away with nothing this guy is determined to win. He cares about his clients And makes you feel like family. He even texted us over the weekend before our court date to make sure things were in order. I Recommend Jim Sharon Bearden Jr to anyone. He was persistent In court and also gave us a laugh calling her out! Thank you so much for your good work Jim! Your the best!

Excellent Lawyer!

I was 18 years old and a soon to be senior in highschool when this incident happend, I had plans for college. All of my hope for the future was gone when I had gotten charged with a felony. I'd never be accepted into college, never have a decent job, I had no hope. No one would listen to my side, I went into Mr. Bearden's office and he genuinely cared, even before he had the first payment in his hand. He got the result I wanted, and achieved what everyone thought was impossible, he got the felony pled down to a misdemeanor. He gave me a second chance at life. I would recommend Mr. Bearden to anyone, he honestly cares, and will give you his best efforts to get the results you want.

Easy to work with

I'm out of state, my sister is in Texas serving time. He has made correspondence very easy. He responds to our questions and concerns very quickly. He eliminates obstacles that are daunting to deal with. I am very confident that my sister is in his hands and I know that she will be treated kindly and fair.

Excellent lawyer!

Best lawyer I have ever seen. Took on the State of Texas and handily defeated them in my DUI trial. He posseses big city attorney skills with a small town charm. He is a straight shooter and will advise you truthfully on matters. He HATES to lose!!!!! Would recommend him to anyone.

A fantastic lawyer and outstanding guy!

Has always been there for me at the drop of ah hat. Takes care of people like no other attorney I know. I mean he left his office to bond me out today and then took me out for a beer. Like I said the man is just a ture good hearted American. I would suggest to anyone to look him up.

Jim Sharon Bearden is one of the most down to earth lawyers I've ever known. He and his staff are very caring and compassionate . They have a friendly Southeast Texas attitude and smile every time you walk in the door. Jim actually had to deal with Colorado laws to help me with my case. He did a fabulous job and I couldn't have been happier. I've known Jim for quite some time, but this is the first time he actually represented me. I would recommend Jim to anyone, friends or family.

amazing law firm :)

Jim Sharon Bearden: Honest, Integrity, Loyal

Posted by

Jim Sharon Bearden dealt with a minor employment non-compete that I was dealing with at the time. Although his expertise may not rest with this type of law, it proves his ability to argue and use his talents to make certain my interest were covered in this situation. He was flexible and had time no matter when I called. He is a true family man that is loyal to serving his community and ideally wants to make certain that he leaves this world better than when he found it. I would recommend Jim Sharon for ANY legal matter that you or your family were having to deal with.

My Arizona client was facing the very real prospect of being defaulted in a Texas action. Jim Sharon stepped in, quickly filed an answer, and was able to negotiate a satisfactory settlement under very difficult circumstances. Jim Sharon effectively managed tough demands, both from our client, and from the opposing party and its counsel, to resolve the dispute. His professionalism was exemplary and I highly recommend him.
