You want Jaimie Washo on your team!!!!
Jaimie Washo is a GREAT attorney who was interactive with me as a client. Even during the initial consultation, she took the time to answer questions from my concerned spouse. Easily accessible and patient during conversations, Jaimie is very attentive to detail. She has a strong character and confident persona, which allows her to connect with her client and effectively handle their adversaries. In my situation, Jaimie was really resourceful, and played an assertive role in bringing about a positive outcome. She's definitely the attorney you want on your team, no matter what you're dealing with.

Excellent Criminal Defense Lawyer
A family friend recommended Jaimie to me regarding my case. The state was determined to convict me with weak evidence. Ms. Washo did not settle, got the charges dismissed, and prevented the state from taking my case to trial. Ms. Washo is a confident and thorough attorney and it was the best decision that I could have made. I highly recommend Ms. Washo if you want the best outcome for yourself.

Excellent Criminal Defense Attorney
Jaimie is an amazing attorney! From start to finish, she demonstrated a level of professionalism and expertise that helped me feel at ease. One of Jaimie’s standout qualities was her speedy and excellent communication. From the moment I reached out for a consultation, I was impressed with her responsiveness. She promptly returned my calls and emails, often within the same day, which made me feel valued as a client. She also made it a point to ensure that I understood exactly what was happening at every stage of my case. I would highly recommend Jaimie Washo Spivey to anyone in need of expert criminal defense representation.

Definite yes
I know I had the right lawyer when I spoke to Mrs. Washo on the phone. I met with a couple other lawyers on my case and she was the only one willing to jump right in and go. Very attentive and responsive. She is the lawyer you want. Definitely recommend!

Compassionate Attorney
Jaimie was amazing in handling my case. She always returned calls within 24 hours. She's knowledgeable and has a calm demeanor. She answered any questions I had, listened to my anxieties. She offered options that 2 other attorneys did not bring up. I highly recommend Jaimie!!!!

IT IS ALL GOING TO BE OK!!!
That was the promise. And that was the result! I had never been arrested. It happened on Christmas Eve. Charged with Domestic Abuse by a relative with a lots of issues. I'm a 100 percent disabled vet and 73. I was scared. Ms. WASHO assured me that everything would be OK! She was right. The entire process could not have been more hassle-free. Thank you Ms. Washo Norman Bissoj

Personable Professional
Jaimie was both professional and courteous each of the times I hired her. She was also down to earth, personable, and communicated very well with me throughout the process. Jaimie makes you feel at ease; almost as if she were a trusted family member handling your case. She never tries to make things complicated with legal jargon overuse or by pretending you’ll have a better outcome than possible. I very much appreciate the fact that she was honest with me about everything and was extremely prompt on return communication.

Jamie was soo helpful on this case against me. She was professional in all matters in this case which was filed against me nearly 2 years ago. She put me at ease on several occasions and assured me that she was on top of it and just to wait in line for everything to work its way thru the legal process. I would hughly recommend her to anyone needing legal advice and representation.

Jaimie is the mold of which all others should be made from!
Jaimie made light out of a very dark case for me. She presented communication to me on "my" level and very detailed so there was no questions on my end. She's quick to communicate. Does what she says she's going to do and fight for. She's just an overall delight to work with and I couldn't of asked for better representation as far as I'm concerned!

Having the right person to be on my side is the key to getting the job done.
This was a first experience for me in my life of over 70 years. I did not know what to do and who to call to help me. Attorney Jamie Spivey was recommend to me by the first person that helped me to this point, my bail bonds man. My initial meeting was helpful in assuring me of what to expect to follow in my case and a timeline. My attorney fought to have my charges dropped. I would highly recommend attorney Jamie Spivey.

Awesome attorney
From the beginning Jaimie was very understanding taking time to answer questions, listen to things I had to tell, always there if I had a question or information to send her. She is very quick to respond. Always kept me informed and up to date. If I should ever need an attorney again she is my go to and I would recommend her very highly. Thank you again Jaimie for everything you did.

Client of Jaimie’s •Daniel•
I needed a attorney for a violation of probation in Bushnell. Jamie seemed to rank very good on this website. So, I decided to go with her. From the very beginning she was definitely in-sync with me throughout the whole process. She even squashed a bench warrant for me (which I did not anticipate being possible). Bottom-line = she definitely gets a 5 out of 5 star rating from me. I strongly recommend her to anyone who wants a lawyer who truly helps, and cares. Thank you Jaimie! - Daniel H.

Exceptional
Never been involved in any situation like this before , I was very unsure what to do in my case. I feel blessed to have been led to Jaimie. From day one she was up front , honest and helpful all the way to the end. Even when my case seemed dismal at best, we kept pushing on and she managed to come through for me when I thought all Hope was lost. Words can’t do justice to how thankful I am. Jaimie was always available to me via email, text , phone whenever I had questions or concerns . Always professional , never overpromising and honest — those are qualities I appreciate in Jaimie along many more from choosing the right lawyer. When your reputation, future, peace of mind career—whatever it may be; if you value any of those and want the best outcome — don’t look any further other than Jaimie.
