Rich

Jaye is regarded among the best family lawyers in the state. She is certainly a subject matter expert. I had the pleasure of working with her professionally on several matters prior to retaining her to handle my separation. She is extremely responsive (even responding to questions when the power w...as out across downtown Raleigh). Jaye is also very considerate of individual circumstances (such as the impact of decisions on kids) when evaluating potential options. I highly recommend her to anyone facing the difficult circumstance of a separation.

Good Experience

No one enjoys needing the services of a divorce attorney, but I had a good experience with Jaye and her team at Tharrington Smith. Jaye was very responsive when I had questions, and kept me "in the loop" during the entire process. I was satisfied with how I was represented and with the outcome of m...y case.

Great resource for difficult and personal matters

Jaye is a very ethical and upstanding representative. Her knowledge and experience in the complicated family law system makes her an indispensable asset. My only wish is that I had found her sooner while going through the divorce and child support process. Her focus not only includes you (as a... client), but your children as well. She understands the delicate nature of complicated cases and desires the best outcome. She gives sound advice and counsel, even in the most emotional and trying times. If you are looking for a strong attorney who has your interests and your children's interests in mind, she is the attorney for you.

Simply amazing

It was simply amazing working with Jaye on my divorce. I've recommended her to one of my friends already. Jaye was straight forward and was certain about every question I had. She guided me through the process in a way that allowed my ex-wife and I to divorce in a wonderfully cooperative way. ... I interviewed a different family law attorney prior to being referred to Jaye and I did not go with him because he seemed way too focused on getting the best without focusing on a win-win like Jaye did. And a divorce is way more than a separation of property. It's something that, if done in the right way, allows both parties to have peace along with our adult child. So important! Bottom line, Jaye played a pivotal role in helping me make my divorce very amicable and because of that she helped us maintain a friendly relationship throughout the process. Her advice helped our adult child maintain strong mental health since we were guided in the right way. I couldn't have found a better attorney to represent me in something so important.

Review of Family Law Attorney

My experience with this attorney was that she is better suited for a female client. I thought she did a wonderful job of co-representing my spouse. She was not much interested in any ideas I had to strengthen my case. I was told by other female clients of her's that she was very motivated by going af...ter husbands who she believed are narcissistic.For that reason, she is probably a perfect lawyer to represent a woman with a lot of money to spend on legal defense because like many established family law attorneys her practice seems to focus on clients with a lot of liquid assets. For the average male client, she is not a good choice, in my opinion. I found her quite knowledgeable, but not very easy to work with in my separation case. I should have chosen another counsel. We did not communicate well and she did not seem to appreciate any input that i offered. In fact, she was very dismissive of almost any idea that I had in terms of evidence that I believed was important.
