Beyond a Super Lawyer!

I was referred to Jamie Getty by my NJ family and matrimonial attorney five years ago. From day one, Jamie dove deep into the facts of my case, was able to decipher through more than ten years of court documents and was absolutely tenacious in advancing my case in North Carolina. Not only is Jamie a ...highly skilled professional and an excellent attorney, she took a personal interest in me and my children and left no stone unturned. We just won a trial by jury. I can’t thank Jamie enough for her efforts, passion and dedication. I have dealt with many attorneys, both professionally and personally, and by far Jamie is at the top of my list. I highly recommend her. ...

I have worked with Jamie for over a year with my divorce. She was very thorough and her experience (and the firms) in handling different situations was evident and helped in my case. She guided me through this tough time and transition in my life. I definitely recommend Jamie and her firm.

Professional , helpful and very compassionate

I am very happy with the service I received from attorney Jamie Getty, she is very kind, sympathetic, someone who truly cares not only for you and your case but also for what is in the best interests of, in my case, my child involved. She actively seeks to involve you in decisions about your case s...o that you are an active participant and a true partner in resolving your case.This was my first time dealing with the legal system and I didn't know what to do or where to turn. My fears were put to rest when I found Mrs Getty she explained everything that was going to happen and was always responsive to all my questions and concerns. She took the time to explain me options so I could weigh the pros and cons of each and come to a conclusion . I would highly recommend Mrs Getty. She was a true professional at all times and knows her way around the court system.

Compassionate, knowledgeable, expert legal representative for guardianship of elderly

Ms. Getty accepted an appointment by the State to act as interim guardian for my grandmother. This is/was a difficult time for my parents and I, having to experience a loved ones declining health together with dementia. My grandmother had two strokes within a month of each other and it was determin...ed that she required 24/7 medical treatment permanently. The legal battle ensued between a family member and her boyfriend attempting to remove her from the nursing home against medical advice. Ms. Getty was a Godsend to our family. She provided expert legal advice and representation but more importantly, she provided support and compassion. She not only won our case for my permanent guardianship for my grandmother, she went a step further and obtained a protective order for my grandmother to keep anyone from removing her from the nursing home illegally. Ms. Getty genuinely cares for her clients, which is a rare find. I highly recommend Ms. Getty for your legal needs.
