Jamie Allison Black

I have recommended Jamie to many friends as a friend did for me. Jamie was their for my daughter and I through a very difficult custody case, during this case I was lied about and slandered she helped me to stay calm through it all, and we won, my daughter is still with me, safe and sound, her father... now has no rights to control her life or mine. She possibly saved us, and I will forever and always be thankful to her for what she has done. Even years later she remembers who we are and certain things about my daughter that most would forget. I have called her even after our case was over, and she has always returned my calls and given me advice. I will continue to use Jamie for any future needs, and if I need any other law advice I will have her refer me to someone. She never over charged and she was able to get my ex-husband to pay most of her fees. This is who you want, and you better get her before the other party finds out about her.

The idea of going through a divorce is intimidating. I was 23, had 2 small children, and a new job. To top things off, my now ex-husband was both emotionally and physically abusive and wanted custody of our two then small children. Personally, I was overwhelmed trying to navigate the new realm of si...ngle parenthood while at the same time protect my children from my ex-spouse. Jamie took the intimidation out of the divorce process for me. I didn't have to worry about the legal aspects of my case. Jamie explained everything to me (multiple times if needed so that I could fully understand), she forewarned me of all possible outcomes, she advised me not only what actions I should take during the divorce but also after the divorce was final, and she contacted all possible witnesses that were needed for the trial explaining the importance of their testimony. Jamie also contacted members of my ex's family to ask if they would volunteer to be supervisors if supervised visitation was awarded during our separation trial. Thanks to Jamie contacting those witnesses , our separation trial wasn't a 'he said, she said' but there were credible witnesses to show the environment that my children would live in if my ex were to have custody and my ex's family volunteering to supervise illustrated their own concern for my children's safety if left alone with my ex-husband. The court granted supervised visitation. Years later when I remarried, my ex-husband began stalking and threatening both my new husband and me. I again called Jamie for legal advice and she walked me through the process of obtaining a restraining order. As a former victim of domestic violence, I was so thankful to have an advocate like Jamie. Her actions took off the burden of worrying about the legal aspects of dealing with my ex-husband so that I could concentrate on the healing of my children and myself.

After separating from my husband, I thought we would be the couple that would work everything out... I hired an attorney who gave me "lax" advice and I trusted my ex. Well, a few months later, I found myself in the middle of potentially losing custody of our 2 year old daughter. A friend recommen...ded Jamie and I called her while I was deep on the losing end of my divorce and custody battle. She literally saved me. She dug me out of a hole so deep, I never thought I would see the light of day again!! She and John were always there when I needed someone - even to just listen to me cry. She only allows herself a certain number of divorce clients at a time and I quickly found out it is for her to be able to devote the time each case needs. I will be forever thankful for Jamie and John...at the end of my 3+ year battle, we consider them part of our family. The atmosphere of her office is quaint and welcoming... there are no high end furniture pieces, ritzy paintings, and stuffy receptionists... it's simply a woman who is passionate about her career and the people she helps. She will always have time for you, and she will put her absolute best into your case. I hope I never need her again, but if I do, I'm glad she is on my side and not the other side!!!
