Unprofessional.care about money more than your Case

Unprofessional and not aggressive on the Case . only care about collecting money.he cares about it more than your Case. he misses my court twice once he says...I was in friend wedding! On the second time he just ignored the call . On my final court day he called me the night before asking for more ...money when I told him I'll bay you in couple days he didn't show in court and he had all my Case paperwork

BAD NEWS

UNPROFESSIONAL, DOES NOT RETURN CALLS OR EMAILS, FAILS TO FILE COURT DOCUMENTS ON TIME, CAUSES YOU MORE HARM THAN GOOD, REFUSED TO HELP ME WITH A CREDITOR THAT WAS LISTED IN THE BANKRUPTCY, THAT CONTINUED TO HARASS ME AFTER THE BANKRUPTCY.

Bruce, I informed you that if the creditor continued to contact you after I reached out to them we would need to get the Court involved. I did not hear from you after that until this review, so how could I know they were still bothering you? And the first half of your review is a blatant fabrication, everything was filed on time (if not your case would have been dismissed), and I speak to you on the phone whenever you call and always email you back.

Fabulous Lawyer

Jared was our family's attorney during a difficult time. He did a fantastic job and new what to say and do when course of action was needed. He knew the law and was there when we needed him. We would use Jared's services again if ever needed. He knows whats important and relevant to the court.

Jared Pearson did a great job for me!

I hired Jared to help me reclaim my earnest money (thousands of dollars) from a real estate transaction where I had to pull out of the purchase. I knew I was in the right, but the real estate agents were being very difficult and I had spent weeks trying to work through it, but to no avail. Within a... day of hiring Jared, I received a call that I could come pick up a check for the entire amount of my earnest money. Jared did a great job and did it fast. I would definitely recommend him to any body seeking an attorney.

Outstanding Attorney!

I was involved in a VERY ugly divorce and my first attorney seemed to do nothing. I never heard from him until the day before a hearing, and then he barely spoke during the hearing. Finally I had enough and hired Jared. It was like night and day. He communicated with me regularly and was very confide...nt in the courtroom. In the end I got what I was entitled to, despite my husband's best efforts to hang me out to dry. I would recommend Jared to anyone.
