Tweedy Law Office Named 2020 Bloomfield Chamber Business of the Year

Bloomfield, MO - The Bloomfield Chamber of Commerce held their annual 2020 Awards Banquet on Thursday, March 12th at the Assembly of God Church.

Jim Tweedy opened Tweedy Law Office, LLC in Bloomfield in January 1994.  Sara Pounds joined soon after in September, 1994.  She has been the fresh, smiling face greeting clients at the front door ever since.  Kathy Daniel was the next to join the team in 2001, following a short retirement, after working at the Circuit Clerk’s office for many years.  Other part timers have come/gone over the years, working part time during their college years.  Currently, Marla Swindell and Trish Julian are the current office part time assistants.

Jim and his assistants strive to provide quality legal representation in the small town setting.  His services range from basic estate planning, probate, criminal/traffic matters, family law and collection work.  When cases are outside his comfort zone, he does not hesitate to either co-counsel with specialist in personal injury cases or complex estate planning.

Outside the office, Jim has been involved with the Stoddard County Children’s Home since 1996, serving as secretary, treasurer and fundraising chairman at various times over the years.  He has also served terms on the board of directors of Dexter Memorial Hospital, Center for Family Resources and the Bloomfield Housing Authority.  In addition to the local boards, Jim has served on the MU Ag Alumni Association for nearly a decade, serving as President in 1999 and The Missouri Ethics Commission, serving as Vice-Chairman and hearing officer his last two years of service.  Within the legal community, he also has served as President of the Stoddard County Bar Association, Chairman of Southeast Missouri Legal Services Board of Directors and was the district representative for the Young Lawyers Section of the Missouri Bar in his younger years.  He is currently one of six members of the Missouri Bar serving on the Client Security Fund.
