About Me About
Hello, my name is Jacob Bluewellim. I am a trial attorney with over twenty years of courtroom experience, dedicated to guiding clients through some of the most challenging moments of their lives. My work combines a deep commitment to justice with a practical, results‑driven approach to litigation.
My legal career began in public defense, where I served nearly two decades as a Federal Public Defender. During this time, I handled complex white‑collar, internet, and violent crime cases, earning a reputation for thorough preparation and persuasive advocacy. My first jury trial victory came in 2000 while I was still a law student participating in a supervised clinical program — an experience that set the course for my career.
In recent years, I have transitioned my courtroom skills and strategic insight to complex civil litigation, with a focus on mass tort and product liability cases, including national multidistrict litigation (MDL). In addition, I have increasingly specialized in cases involving internet fraud and cybercrime, an area where my background in federal defense gives me unique insight into both prosecution and defense strategies.
I pride myself on my ability to simplify complicated legal and technical issues for judges and juries, and on always putting my clients’ interests first. Whether defending individuals against federal charges or advocating for victims harmed by defective products or online fraud, I approach every case with the same rigor, integrity, and client‑centered focus that have defined my career.
