Helping you take care of yourself, your family, and your business with individual attention, reasonable rates, and personal integrity.
What matters to me is family. In my law practice, my goal is to help you take care of yourself and your family. I do this by providing services in these areas:
Wills, trusts, and estates
Residential real estate transactions
Small business formation and transactions
Commercial litigation
I serve clients in Connecticut and New York. Prior to opening joining BNR, I was attorney owner of Spannhake Law LLC. Before Spannhake Law, I was an associate in the commercial litigation department of a large New York City firm, where I worked on a variety of matters in both federal and state courts and in arbitration. I also clerked for the Honorable Joel F. Dubina of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit and was an adjunct professor of law at Brooklyn Law School and Pace Law School, teaching criminal law, legal writing, and moot court.
I live in Sherman, Connecticut with my husband, daughter, and two dogs.

Above and beyond
We highly recommend Jamie. She goes above and beyond in every aspect. She was the driving force behind getting a contract closed for us, when it truly wasn't her job to do this. We are extremely happy with all of the work she has done for us. She was also excellent in helping us navigate the difficult task of estate planning. I feel so much better now that we have this is place and know that our children are protected.

Would recommend to anyone
Jamie was very affordable and professional. We hired her as new parents to do our family planning. The process was very easy and quick. She guided us through the entire process answering all of our questions. I would recommend her to anyone looking to create their will.

Outstanding
I hired Jamie to assist with some issues we were having with a trust management company. She was diligent in her research, extremely responsive and always professional while handling the matter. She genuinely works in the best interest of her clients. I have and will continue to recommend Jamie.

Thumbs up!
Jamie Spannhake assisted me in putting together some basic documentation - wills, etc... Unlike some previous experiences I had with other lawyers, she was professional, concise, answered all questions clearly, and provided what I needed, and no more. I would definitely recommend her to others.

This is a no-brainer
We switched from a big law firm to Ms. Spannhake. It's the best decision we've made and we haven't looked back. She is very meticulous, thorough, knowledgeable, and responsive to our requests. Her rates are reasonable and she doesn't nickel and dime. Overall, she gives more value for the dollar than the big firms. I highly recommend her.

Great Local Lawyer
Jamie was hired to draft our wills and trusts a few months after our first child was born. She was very courteous, knowledgeable, and professional every time we dealt with her. I would recommend her services to anyone in need of expert law advice. We will be using Jamie again to reword our documents after the birth of our 2nd child and also in the future, should any other circumstances arise which requires the need for a lawyer.

Knowledgeable and trustworthy lawyer
My husband and I hired Jamie Spannhake to prepare our wills. She really helped us understand all of the details and made the process very easy and convenient by coming to our home to go over all of the paperwork. She was able to answer all of our questions and was very quickly responsive over email. She is very knowledgable and trustworthy - I would highly recommend her as a lawyer.

Real estate Attorney | Jan 30
Relationship: Co-worker
"Jamie is an excellent real estate attorney. Her drafting and negotiation skills are superb, and she is also adept at title issues. She is the full package when it comes to real estate transactions and closings- you want her on your team."
Business Attorney | Mar 05
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"I endorse this lawyer. Jamie and I have worked together on a variety of matters. She is extremely knowledgeable, always professional and consistently exceeds the expectations of her clients. I sincerely enjoy working with Jamie and look forward to working with her in the future."
"I went to law school with Jamie. One lesson I learned from her is the importance of doing unexpectedly more than asked. For example, one day, a classmate asked Jamie how to do something on a computer. It was something little, such as saving a document or something. Jamie showed what was asked. But then the next day, she came in with printouts of the users guide explaining the technical details of what the classmate has asked. That is the kind of person Jamie is. I have no doubt that Jamie would perform any work asked of her unexpectedly well!"
