Deer in the headlights!

I hired Jared in my criminal case to protect me. When it came time for him to protect me, honestly he was like a deer in the headlights. Choose your attorney carefully and if need be spend more money if you really want to be protected. I would suggest hiring someone with more experience if you re...ally want your case Protected.

No Communication and No Effort Spent on Case! SAVE YOUR MONEY

I should have interviewed multiple attorneys before selecting Jered. After paying his retainer I never saw him a single time until my first court date. During this time I called and emailed his office on multiple occasions to try and get updated and to discuss my case. Jered and his assistant Shawna... would not answer email and did the bare minimum possible on my case. When he showed up to my pretrial he literally had no idea what I was charged with. He was actually reading the Idaho laws on his phone. The outcome of my trial was worse than what the prosecutor asked for and Jered didn't make a single argument for me.

  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
