Continuing A Reputation
For Legal Excellence
It’s unfortunate, but many people believe that living in a small town means you have to go to the “big city” to find a lawyer when you need to resolve a serious legal matter. This is a mistake for two reasons. First, it is absolutely critical to hire an Orange County lawyer who is familiar with the court, judges, and other attorneys in Orange, Texas. Second, if you choose to retain a big city firm, the lawyer you meet with or originally contact will never do any significant work on your behalf. The result is representation that may not take the trends in your jurisdiction into account or may only receive attention from an inexperienced associate attorney.
Jim Sharon Bearden, Jr., principal attorney at The Bearden Law Firm, was born and raised in Orange, Texas.

Your Case
Is Not Just A Number
The Bearden Law Firm‘s practice encompasses many areas of the law. None of them are “theoretical” to the firm’s primary attorney, Jim Sharon Bearden, Jr. For example, his personal injury representations are deeply impacted by the injuries he suffered as the victim in a double 18-wheeler wreck. (He has fortunately fully recovered.) When he represents criminal defendants facing DUI or drug charges, his focus is on helping them overcome any personal issues with substance abuse, as well as minimize the impact of their arrest on the rest of their lives. As the father of five, Jim Sharon brings an appreciation of how divorce and family law issues impact children, and believes their interests come first in these situations.
Jim Sharon also believes that his clients deserve his full attention from start to finish. He handles all cases personally – you will not be passed off to anyone else. Attorney Bearden also has a reputation as a “straight-shooter.” As your attorney, his job is NOT to tell you what you WANT to hear about your case; his job is to tell you what you NEED to hear, and to collaborate with you on your case so the result is something with which you can live.
