About Jared
Jared Hastey took a direct path into law after completing his undergraduate studies. He earned a B.S. in Management from the University of California, Merced in 2009, having begun that program in 2007. He then enrolled at Lincoln Law School of Sacramento in 2013 and received his J.D. in 2017. Those years shaped his legal foundation and prepared him for practice in California.
Soon after law school, Hastey moved into a firm role. In 2018 he joined Rich, Fuidge, Bordsen & Galyean, Inc. as an associate lawyer. That early firm experience put him into everyday lawyering work: drafting documents, conducting legal research, and engaging with clients and opposing counsel. The associate position also offered regular exposure to courtroom procedures and negotiation settings, allowing him to translate classroom learning into practical skills.
Colleagues describe Hastey as methodical in his approach to case preparation. He spends time on the details that matter: developing factual records, organizing evidence, and preparing written submissions. He has handled the typical responsibilities of an associate attorney, including motions, discovery, and client counseling. Those tasks are part of the steady, unglamorous work that supports whatever outcomes a client seeks.
Hastey maintains active professional memberships, which he uses to stay current on developments in California law. He has continued to develop his knowledge through those networks and through hands-on work at the firm. He also draws on his undergraduate training in management when coordinating case workflows and communicating with clients about procedural expectations.
His career so far follows a familiar pattern: solid academic preparation, an early decision to join a regional law school, and a quick move into firm practice. That trajectory places him among the many attorneys who build their practices from steady, day-to-day legal work rather than from headline cases. It also means he has developed practical skills that clients and supervising lawyers expect from an associate.
He currently serves as an associate at Rich, Fuidge, Bordsen & Galyean, Inc., where he practices law in California.
