Excellent!

Jaimie was the biggest help to me and my fiancé. Not only was she understanding of our situation she pushed her hardest to get him into a PTI program and have his record expunged. She is amazing at keeping touch with you and she is very reasonably priced. She was also able to work out an amazing deal... for herself and another lawyer since we had two cases being delt in different counties. Her heart and kind personality is why I would recommend her to any and every person needing a lawyer! Thanks again Jaimie for all your help!

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 decisi...on that I could have made. I highly recommend Ms. Washo if you want the best outcome for yourself.

A+++ Lawyer

I was involved in a very large case and feel that I had the best representation. I felt Jaimie truly wanted to get me the best outcome possible. She answered all my questions and was very informative. She was very easy to get a hold of if I needed anything, every time I emailed or called her she woul...d respond within a few hours or less. She never made me feel pressured to decide on anything unless it is what I wanted. Her respect for me as a client was unparalleled. I would highly recommend Jaimie Washo!

Useless lawyer, wasted $10k

Jaimie was hired after i was ridiculously overcharged by the police, which then got increased even more after hiring her. She never spoke to me or let me know what was happening in my case. Once my court date arrived she invited me to her officer where I thought we would talk about what happened.... Nope, she put a plea deal in front of me which showed that I was going to be charged with the same felony, but with an additional felony on top of that. She said if I didnt sign the plea deal I would go to prison for the rest of my life. I was terrified of going to prison for the rest of my life over something I had no control over and she took advantage of that. She never talked to me once to get my side of what happened, she did not look at the evidence against me or even request it. It took me two months of nagging her to get it AFTER the plea deal she made for me. Which ended up just being my accusers statement and a video of the police attacking me for no reason. Im pretty sure the only reason the prosecutor is acting so oblivious to this is because he doesn't want the police officers charged since part of my plea deal was I couldn't press charges against the police for beating me so bad I was admitted to the hospital. When I asked her a legal question she answered with "LOL, Where did you go to law school?" I dont know who wrote her other reviews but I do not believe for a second they are true.

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.
