A Real Fighter for Justice

I'm a single dad and I sit here writing this in tears because of the realization of how grateful I am to Attorney Dowdy and her staff. I have been through so many false criminal accusations by the mother of my child who refuses to follow the custody court order that she and I have. I've been arrested... more than 6 times on false police reports by my son's mother, have had CPS called on me multiple times by my son's mother, and I've had to deal with 4 orders of protection against me (going on 5) by my son's mother. All dismissed thanks to Attorney Dowdy. All of this done to me to try to keep me from seeing my son, bonding with him, protecting him, and providing for him because she wanted to pass my son off as another man's. My son's mother began doing all of this after I had her served with court papers so that I can meet my son for the first time and be a part of his life. Attorney Dowdy has been with me every step of the way and has stopped the orders of protections from destroying mine and my son's life. If it weren't for her putting in the time and energy each and every time fighting for me, my son wouldn't be able to see his daddy and share our fav meal of tacos together. Every time Attorney Dowdy goes in the courtroom she gives her all, shows how much she knows the law, and really puts up a fight for her clients. I've worked with lawyers who will take your money and either half help you in court or will outright fail you and have the nerve to ask for more money. Attorney Dowdy is NOT that kind of Attorney. Any money spent is well worth the money for her expert services! She ABSOLULTELY WILL FIGHT FOR YOU! Anyone, ESPECIALLY FATHERS, if you need a lawyer who will have your back and fight hard for you and your little ones......CHOOSE ATTORNEY DOWDY! I promise you won't regret it. I know I will continue to use/need her services and to this day I haven't regretted her services at all. Attorney Dowdy you and your staff are heaven sent and I pray you all have a wonderful and blessed Christmas rest of holidays!

A True Fighter

I hired Ms.Dowdy to represent my daughter. She has gone over and beyond to assist her in getting justice. She truly fights for her clients. I would refer her to anyone in need of representation.

EXCELLENT ATTORNEY

SHE HANDLED MY CUSTODY CASE FOR ME, AND I WILL SAY THAT IF YOU CHOOSE HER YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. SHE THE MOST HUMBLE PERSON I'VE EVER MET.

Look no further#

JMDOWDY is: most reliable, affordable, moral, and understanding attorney that one can find. I have personally used her for over six years in many different applications. She has recently aided me in protecting my son and helped me achieve the title of primary residential parent, insuring my son's ...well being. I would (AND HAVE) recommend Jahari Dowdy to anyone in need of legal counsel.

Landlord vs. Tenant

My husband and I had an issue with a landlord not wanting to refund a security deposit. Attorney Dowdy took the case and handled it in a timely manner, while keeping us well-informed of the process. I would recommend this attorney.
