A Strong Business Adviser and Advocate

Jamie Pedersen has been my business lawyer for nearly 20 years. In that time, my business has grown dramatically -- from just me to more than 20 employees and $3.5 million in revenue. Jamie has been a key partner and adviser in my success. While he has clients significantly larger than my strategic c...ommunications and advocacy agency, he treats me like I'm his only client. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Trusted, Capable and Talented

Jamie is a trusted, long term member of our business team and definitely has a seat at the table. He presents options and recommendations in a balanced way but also has the backbone to passionately defend our interests when necessary.

Corporate Secretary, Nonprofit Law, Contract Law

I have worked with Jamie Pedersen who is our lead corporate counsel for a number of years. In all cases he is prepared, engaged, thoughtful, and a good source of appropriate caution. His turnaround time is amazing and I am impressed at his ability to refer and work with other attorneys as needed when... additional expertise is required.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • 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.
