Jared's pride lies in his connection to his clients and in his skills in telling their stories.
In his eight years as a public defender Jared represented all kinds of people charged with all kinds of cases. Everything from DUI to sex cases. Domestic violence, theft, assault, murder, all kinds of felonies and misdemeanors.
As a plaintiff's personal injury attorney, Jared has helped people get back on their feet and in trial he has gotten jury verdicts totaling $2.25 million in the last two years.
Jared also spends time helping other lawyers. Not everyone has had the same opportunities to learn how to present their clients' stories in court. Teaching is amongst the most rewarding ways Jared spends his time.
Jared graduated from Seattle University School of Law in 2015, and has since graduated from the Trial Lawyers College, and the National Criminal Defense College. In addition he has been recognized by the National Trial Lawyers as in the top 40 under 40 lawyers and by the Washington Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers as a Schwartz scholar.
"I became a lawyer to fight the systems that chip away at our dignity one vulnerable person at a time.
I remain a lawyer to fight for the tired, the poor, the mired, and sore.
I am, at my core, a people's lawyer because we are the last bastion against injustice in a world that is unequivocally and unapologetically unfair.
Our world is a dark place. Lawyers that help the vulnerable hold only a small torch, but without that flame there would be no light at all."
-Jared Isaacson on lawyering
The Most Persuasive Argument is the Truth
The prosecution gets the entire police force acting as their investigative wing, state-funded forensic labs, and an army of prosecutors, witness coordinators, "victim advocates," and support staff. They'll claim that they're understaffed and overworked, and they are, but defense is not afforded any of these vast resources as a default.
Some legal strategies rely on courtroom theatrics, smoke and mirrors, or searching for technical loopholes. This is not enough. Learning what actually happened is the most important thing your legal team can do for you.
The In-House Advantage
It is an unfortunate industry standard that most law firms do not have an investigator on staff. They rely on the police, or they farm the work out to third-party contractors long after negotiating breaks down. Having Jan in-house means our investigation starts the moment you hire us.
Experience
Jan has been investigating criminal cases since 2002 where she started with the Snohomish County Public Defender Association. In 2007 she became a trainer and supervisor of other investigators. In 2004 she shifted focus to investigating felony cases and she stayed in that role until 2015 when she went out on her own. She started Pro Se Investigations LLC where she stayed until 2025. She has degrees from Everett Community College and Western Washington University. She has been a guest lecturer for college courses on criminology, human services, and writing. And she maintains memberships with the National Defender Investigator Association and the National Legal Aid & Defender Association.
A Century of Resilience and Legal Tradition
When we chose the headquarters for Bulldog Law, we didn’t want a generic corporate office park. We wanted a space that mirrored our approach to the law: resilient and built to stand its ground. We found exactly that at 1721 Hewitt Avenue in the historic Central Building.
Inheriting a Legacy of Advocacy
Designed by prominent local architects Morrison & Stimson and constructed in 1925, the Central Building has stood tall through a century of American history. But more importantly, it has served as the cornerstone of Everett’s legal community for generations.
For 100 years, this building have been a hub for attorneys. Most notably, the building proudly served as the home of the Snohomish County Public Defender Association, housing attorneys who dedicated their careers to ensuring everyone had a voice in the justice system.
Facing the Courthouse, Standing for You
The Central Building sits directly in the Hewitt Avenue National Historic District, intentionally positioned facing the Snohomish County Courthouse.
Every day, we look out our windows directly at the courthouse. Even if your case isn't in Snohomish County, this view is a constant reminder of our duty to our clients and our readiness to step into the courtroom to tell your story.
