Best family lawyer

Jamie has been an absolute blessing to me and my family! She executes on all levels and keeps you in the loop at all times! I feel as if she was apart of my family while representing me and she travels! Highly recommended and most importantly, she is an outstanding person who cares! Call Allgood Law..., she’s an ACE!

MILITARY DIVORCE incredible lawyer & honest woman

I knew nothing about getting a military divorce. Married 20+ years out of state, a full time working Mom of 3, I didn't know what I was entitled to [IF I wanted those things], how to negotiate during mediation [what is REALLY important to me - stay focused], or how to remain civil when an uncontested... divorce turns contested. Not once was I caught unware of the process, the paperwork, or her expectations of me. I needed someone not just smart and stylish, I wanted someone who would be honest and straight forward with me about all things. Trust was instant which is rare for me and along the process I had, and she did too, remind me I paid HER for her expertise, knowledge, and sound advice - especially when my feelings got in the way of her REASONABLE sound advice. I could not be happier with my outcome or more complimentary of the legal services provided, professionalism extended, and knowledge base known by Mrs. Jaime Allgood. She works the process in your favor, listening to what you want and knowing what you're entitled too, but never leading you on. Listen to her advice, communicate openly and honestly with her, and allow her to fully represent you. Trust me, she knows what she is doing and is highly respected and well known in legal circles and courthouses in Virginia. I highly recommend her, give her a call!!

Excellent attorney

She is very well informed and quite knowledgable. She treated us extremely well and we very much appreciate how intrested she was in our very complex and difficult case. We are much more at ease after consulting with Jamie. We have sought several advise , but Jamie's was the most informative, transpa...rent and objective we have ever recieved. She was sensitive caring and respectful. I am so glad to have met her and so appreciative of her time and effort. Her advise brought peace and serenity back to my family. God bless you Jamie. You are an angel. Thank you so much

Jamie Allgood

I was very pleased that I hired Jamie for my case. She always presented various possible outcomes to the different issues that came up so I was not unprepared when it happened. She was always quick to respond to my questions and I felt like she was "just a phone call away". Jamie is very easy to ...talk to and this was extremely important to me. Her compassion and empathy along with her professionalism always made me feel like I was not "just another case".
