Bio
Jim Freeman
I have known Jared Bellum for at least a decade and as an active local real estate broker have referred many people to him for services for which he has demonstrated competency and results. When I think of Jared in these contexts I think of estate planning, business law, real estate, debtor protection and other related centers of competency. I think it demonstrates my deep respect for his abilities by referring my parents to him when they had a complex legal issue arise late in their lives. Jared and his associate, Richard Seward got right to work, constructed a solid strategic solution to the issue and executed it flawlessly. The results were very beneficial to my parents and greatly improved their quality of life. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Jared for any legal matter for which he expresses his ability to handle for you.
Richard Seward
Jared Bellum has worked with our firm since 2010 and has demonstrated remarkable skills as a lawyer in the areas of contract law, estate planning and probate, estate administration, real estate, business law, general civil litigation and bankruptcy. His experience with us will be a tremendous asset for any firm looking to hire a skilled attorney who can resolve the most difficult of challenges and who clients love. I would strongly recommend Jared to any potential employer.
