Divorce Client

I retained Jamie Simons last year to assist me with my divorce. She is extremely knowledgeable and kept me informed and educated each step of the way. She has also represented me for additional issues that have arisen since the divorce and has done a great job to ensure a fair and positive outcome.... Jamie is always very responsive to my questions and concerns and always puts my mind at ease in what has been a very stressful situation. I have and would recommend her to anyone needing legal advice.

Stellar attorney!

I retained Jamie Simons to handle my divorce. She was very knowledgeable and kept me informed as to all my options during this process. Ms. Simons' great relationship with the Court was also evident at final hearing. Despite the emotional turmoil of my divorce, she was able to make my divorce proc...ess less stressful for me during this time. I would certainly recommend her to anyone seeking legal counsel.

She's inexperienced and completely screwed up my divorce paperwork

Jaime is a very nice girl but I expected more from someone who was with the Lasky Law Firm. The paperwork she drew up wasn't for the correct court or county, so come to find out the judge signed documents that aren't worth the paper they're printed on because he has no authority according to how the ...documents are drawn. Despite her assurances, this error is going to cost me a lot of money. I'm actively searching for a new attorney, maybe I'd recommend her in a few years or for people who don't have a lot at stake.

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.
