His work was outstanding!

My family and I were involved in a somewhat horrid case with my wife's ex. Mr. Jamieson and his staff were simply outstanding. They were honest, realistic, and always had the ability to calm our nerves when they were most frazzled. There was simply nothing that they were not forthcoming about. Moreov...er, they always provided us all of the information that we needed in the most timely manner imaginable. Their service was first class. Because we were out-of-town clients, they were willing to work with us over phone and on weekends when we could get into town. He suggested expert witnesses that truly helped our case. He also cared about the welfare of our child above all else. He also respected us, our opinions, and our needs. This was a non-traditional case, so his expertise was absolutely essential. He understood the need of our daughter, developmentally and otherwise. He also understood how to build a very complex case that demonstrated that justice was on our side. Rather than reducing a complex case to the "standard," he and his staff fought hard for us. Here is the best part: We won everything. His knowledge of case law, use of experts, and professionalism far exceeded that of opposing council. The truth of the matter is that he was simply better prepared and that the cost of that was worth the quality. He provided us with advice that we did not necessarily like and asked us to spend money on the places that were worth it. And the results were worth it! Really nice to have an honest, results-oriented attorney who treated our problem with the seriousness that it deserves! We will continue to use him and HIGHLY recommend him and his practice. His ability to demonstrate that an unconventional case deserved an unconventional judgement truly sold me (and the judge) on the quality of his practice. He has impacted our lives so much to the positive, I'd give him 6 stars if I could. Thank you!!!!!

Great experience

This was a second marriage for both of us. This was a mutually agreed upon divorce and I was so lucky to find Mr. Jamieson and his firm to represent me. We both wanted a quick and as uncomplicated as possible to avoid any ill will on either side. We had a very thorough pre nuptial agreement as wel...l as binding property agreement regarding the disposition of the one asset we owned jointly. Mr. Jamieson came highly recommended by my Trust & Estates lawyer as an attorney who is even tempered and concerned first and foremost in the best interest of his client. The entire process took a little more than a month and we are both in a much better place for this reason. Mr. Jamieson is an excellent and very knowledgeable attorney when it comes to marital law. In addition, he and his entire staff at the firm were accessible, efficient, caring and concerned.

The BEST attorney to have on your side!!

My first impression when I met Mr. Jamieson, was that he was a fair and professional individual, and he lived up to my first impression. We had another attorney before we met CDJ and was more expensive and the results were nowhere near as positive. Attorney Jamieson works on your case as if he was r...epresenting his own family. He will even work on Sundays if need be to accommodate his client and or get you prepared for court. He is always a phone call away 24/7. I thank God for putting Mr.Jamieson on our case and pray that he will continue to bless him and his wonderful staff.

The BEST Family Attorney, Trustworthy and Dedicated!

I found myself unexpectedly in the situation of needing legal services. My first attorney was a personal friend and familiar with family law however was not comfortable with custody and false allegations of abuse. I contacted Mr. Jamieson and after our initial interview was fortunate to engage his... services. After a very long battle with the Criminal, DCF and the Family courts I was victorious in winning sole custody of my 7 year old son. Initially I was forbidden to have any contact with my son for 6 months; Mr. Jamieson guided me through this very emotional and strenuous time. His professional and compassionate manner allowed me to stay focused on saving my son. Mr. Jamieson and his staff have a strong network of professionals that I was able to work with to better myself and the situation. Both him and his team were very approachable and went out of their way to assist whenever was necessary. With all the distractions from my former wife and DCF, he remained focused and was able to navigate through all the obstacles and continuous false allegations. After several years in the court system, I was awarded sole custody and my former wife was restricted to supervised visitation. The experience was very difficult and emotionally draining. Thanks to Mr. Jamieson I am a better person in the end and my son is thriving. If you are looking for the BEST, then you will be privileged and fortunate to know that Mr. Jamieson and his staff are on your side. No words could ever express my gratitude for finding Mr. Jamieson and having him in my life. Respectfully submitted, Dave

Attorney YOU can TRUST

Mr. Jamieson and his staff helped me thru my lengthy and difficult child custody case. I am a single dad fighting an uphill battle to be able to be a part of my child's life. With Mr. Jamieson's professionalism and expertise my family was able to have peace of mind navigating thru the very complicate...d ins and out of the family court system. I lived and work over an hour from Mr. Jamieson's office, but would travel gladly knowing that my family's best interest was a priority and they truly and sincerely cared about the results. I was not just another case or customer. I highly recommend attorney Jamieson, to anyone who wants a "REAL PRO" on their side when it comes to defending your rights.
