Posted by Glen | September 19, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Real Estate

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.

Posted by Annie | September 18, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

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.
