Superb Attorney!

I recently had the privilege of working with Jamie as my Divorce and custody attorney, and I can't praise her services enough. From the very beginning, Jamie demonstrated empathy about my case and what I was going through, a deep understanding of family law and a genuine commitment to helping me navi...gate a complex and emotionally-charged situation. One of the standout qualities about Jamie was her exceptional communication. She kept me informed at every step of the process, promptly answered my questions, and explained legal matters in a way that was easy to understand. This level of transparency provided me with confidence and peace of mind during a challenging time. Jamie’s professionalism and attention to detail were remarkable. She meticulously prepared my case, leaving no stone unturned. In court, she displayed impressive courtroom skills, advocating for my rights and the best interests of my children with unwavering dedication. What truly sets Jamie apart, though, is her compassion. She showed that she actually cared about my situation and my children’s well-being, making me feel heard and supported throughout the process. It was evident that she genuinely cared about the outcome and the impact it would have on my family. Thanks to Jamie's expertise, diligence, and compassion, I achieved a favorable outcome in my divorce and child custody case! I can wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a Divorce or child custody attorney. She is a true professional and a beacon of hope during such a scary and uncertain time!

2 year divorce

Jamie was and is a great lawyer for me. Her expertise and knowledge for my divorce including the military parts was incredible. She was able to pick up where my first attorney left off, and tell me how he screwed up. She was worth every penny. She was very responsive to emails at all hours of the ...night/weekends. She was also very good at advising me on the best courses of action.

Solid Experience

I worked with Jamie on my divorce throughout 2015. She was very helpful and caring in her approach and made me feel like no matter how challenging my situation became I just needed to remain focused. She is good at ‘tough love’ and was able to ‘talk me off the ledge’ when things got a difficult. She... did a very good job of reminding me that a divorce, like a marriage, is really a business transaction. She also enlisted help from Stu Grozbean when things became complicated and I felt I needed additional support. She and Stu were quick to act when I finally got to the point where I realized I needed to ‘stop playing nice’ in order to move the process forward. One thing I learned in working with Jamie was the importance of making sure I provided her all the facts related to my situation, no matter how difficult it was to do so. She and Stu cannot provide effective guidance unless they have all the information to help. Overall, I was very pleased with my experience working with Jamie. She did the job in the most efficient, effective and economical manner possible.

Jamie provided counsel for me on two occasions, and I was extremely well represented.

Ms. Maier represented me with Stu Grozbean regarding my divorce case (please refer to his review). I later retained her to represent me regarding a harassment case. Jamie's advice was sound, based upon her legal knowledge and similar cases she had litigated. Her approach was pragmatic, and her ...resolve was strong. Jamie's clarity and ability to ascertain necessary steps were extremely valuable during an emotionally turbulent situation. I am grateful to Jamie and the firm of which she is a part. She exuded confidence in court and was supportive on every level as my case progressed. Jamie has a keen understanding of the law as well as human dynamics, and demonstrated the ability to see potential issues with my harasser. A proactive approach was required, and Jamie clearly explained and executed necessary steps. I highly recommend her as well as her firm.

Great work!

Jamie handled all tasks related to my case and represented me well when needed. She consulted me in all areas and kept me informed of the options available to me during this tough time. I would recommend Jamie Maier along with Belli, Weil, and Grozbean as the team to trust when a case needs to have... the best possible outcome!
