After nearly 40 years of practicing law and securing over $500 million for his clients, Warren Paboojian has announced a change to his law firm.

Veteran Attorney Jason Bell was promoted from within to named partner \u2014 a title that indicates seniority and partial ownership of the company. The firm\u2019s name was changed to reflect the new partnership.<\/p>\n
Though the name is new, Bell\u2019s affiliation with the law firm spans several decades.<\/p>\n
\u201cJason Bell became a named partner because he has been working with me for over 24 years and has provided excellent service for our clients,\u201d said Warren Paboojian.<\/p>\n
A Fresno native, Bell has spent his entire life \u2014 from education to career \u2014 in the Central Valley. He earned a Bachelor\u2019s Degree in Criminology from California State University, Fresno in 1997 and a Juris Doctorate from San Joaquin College of Law in 2000. He was admitted to the California State Bar and the United States District Court, Eastern District in 2001. Bell is an active member of the Fresno County Bar Association, the State Bar of California, the National Trial Lawyers Association, and the Central California Trial Lawyers Association. In 2008, his peers elected him to serve on the Board of Directors for the Fresno County Bar Association. His courtroom achievements include being recognized alongside Paboojian for obtaining one of the Top 50 Verdicts in California in 2018 in the case of Ortiz v. Chipotle.<\/p>\n
