Great Family Adoption Attorney

Jamie was a gift to our family. The office team was efficient and made our adoption process as easy as possible. Grateful for them! DC

Extraordinary Knowledge and Compassion

When we hired Jaime this year to help us with our adoption, she wasted no time getting things started and preparing us for next steps. Jaime was experienced and assertive, patience and kind. The peace of mind that we were able to maintain throughout our adoption journey is owed to her, as she was exa...ctly what we had hoped to find in an attorney to help us with this important milestone.

Our Recent Adoption Case

Our attorney, Jaime, and her paralegal, Melanie at Amaryllis Law, went above and beyond for our recent adoption case. They were always quick to respond to any questions we had and always made sure we fully understood the process. Melanie and Jaime were so compassionate and helpful. We can't thank the...m enough for a smooth process. We highly recommend them for your adoption case.

Great services

Never meant any of the lawyers that work in this lay firm in person. Started my journey with that right before covid outbreak, this was definitely a journey. Got the Green Card approved, after 3 years, they contacted me and today we can celebrate an approved citizenship. Would recommend them to far a...nd near to family and friends. Great services!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
