Jami K Ferrell

I hired another lawyer to represent me in my divorce first before I hired Jami and had a terrible experience. The first lawyer I used was impossible to communicate with and didn't seem to really care about my case. Then I called Jami after seeing a billboard and I'm glad I did. He handled my divo...rce very professionally and I was really happy with how prepared he was. When we went to court the judge actually said they were impressed how well he he had everything in order. He told me what to expect to win on and what things I probably wouldn't win even if he did the best lawyering job ever and I appreciated that. Overall he was super smart, considerate and a hard-worker. I definitely endorse him.

Okay, a friend of mine had used him for her divorce. My first experience with Mr. Ferrell started with a phone call to his office when I asked a few questions about a possible divorce and some custody issues. He called me back and after talking he told me that he didn't think that I really needed him... yet and that I should just save my money and come back to him later after I did a few things (that he told me to do) myself. Here are a few things to point out about the above statement: 1. This was totally opposite of what another attorney I had already met with had told me when he said that I would need him to do a ton of work and then asked for a $6,000 retainer. (By the way, does anyone really understand what they heck how retainers work? I'm still trying to figure them out.) 2. He did this for free and told me that he hoped to never hear from me again, but that he would be there if I did call. 3. He didn't try to scare me into hiring him like the other attorney did. Fast-forward nine months later and I ended up having to come back to him for advice. That's when I hired him for my divorce. This was my first marriage and first divorce, so I don't really have a lot of experience with divorce lawyers, but if all lawyers worked like Mr. Ferrell does then I don't think lawyers would have such a bad reputation. The whole experience with his office was really good. Tracey, his assistant, was a sweetheart and he was way nicer than I expected from an attorney. He knew what he was doing and didn't seem to waste my time or money. The only warning I'll give is that he is pretty busy, so sometimes it did take him until the next day to call me back. But when he did call he was always happy to spend time explaining everything to me without making me feel like I was bothering him or that I was stupid. If I ever need a divorce again (God please no!) he'll be the person I call.

When I couldn't take my husband for one more minute I decided I needed to get out of the marriage, but I wanted to be smart about how I did it. I ended up visiting three different law firms to make sure I was making the right decision on who to hire. Mr. Ferrell was the only attorney who didn't just ...tell me whatever they thought would get me to hire them, and the only one who didn't push me signing up with him that day. (He was actually the first lawyer I met with and recommended I meet with other lawyers just to make sure I was comfortable with whoever I ended up choosing to work with.) I'm very happy that I did pick the Ferrell Law Firm. Mr. Ferrell was extremely knowledgeable in every area of my divorce. He let me know what to expect during the hearings we had at the courthouse and during the mediation we went to. Because he was such a nice guy whenever we met I was a little concerned at first that he might not be "mean" enough, but that definitely wasn't an issue. It was great watching him tear into my husband at court. I had warned him that my husband was a smart a** but he said that would end up being to our advantage. After seeing Mr. Ferrell get him to wiggle uncomfortably and get all turned around with his lies on the witness stand I wasn't worried again whether he would be tough enough. He was pretty ferocious:) I'm just happy that I hired Mr. Ferrell. Going through a divorce definitely sucks, but I always knew what to expect and thought he worked really hard to help me. Anytime I had questions him or Tracey always called me back or emailed me. And I never felt like he was taking advantage of me or racking up his fees. If your looking for a good divorce attorney you should hire him.

Sadly, my previous attorney of 7 years who handled my case moved out of the country. If you looking for an attorney who will take your situation seriously, well-advise you and not waste your money then do not chose this guy. He is pleasant and will tell you everything you want to hear. He tell you h...e will work to get everything you deserve by acting like a roaring lion to the opposing side. When he comes down to it he will let you down. It's all an act. This is how he handled my case-very poorly. He charged for several hours and did not produce a viable document just a bunch of paper and emails that never ended up anywhere. After $2000 in less than 2 weeks, he exhausted the entire retainer and said I owed him more...I was insulted! Nothing was even filed in court! My best advice: look for someone who will act for you and take your matter seriously as if it were their life hanging in the balance. It is no wonder lawyers are giving a bad wrap like used car salesperson because to me they are both predatory. You are better off representing yourself than hiring this one.

I spent two years pleading for his time. he put a lwayer to work my case with me who left the firm before my case was finished. half the times I couldn't get any call through to anyone in the firm as the secretaries quit on them twice. Two years later I am in worse of shape than I was when I chose to... retain them, sadly they never fail to be in touch when money is due but when I seek progress there is no one to consult.
