Jamie Allison Black

When I needed an attorney who specialized in child custody/support issues, I began asking around, and a friend of mine recommended Jamie Black. She told me she knew her as the OPPOSING council on a case and was sure she would do her best for me! Wow. From our first telephone conversation, I recognize...d why my friend placed so much confidence in her abilities. Jamie Black, Esquire knows the law. Because of her attention to detail, and thorough knowledge of the law, she was able to help me formulate a response and get a difficult case resolved BEFORE the court date. She found the win-win-win solution, and I credit this to her knowledge, professionalism, and experience with mediation. But if it had gone to court, I was confident she would prove a formidable presence in the courtroom - just what I needed especially given the emotional content of such a case. She kept me informed all along the way, clearly outlined her expectations of me as a client and what I could expect from her. Her retainer was reasonable, and she refunded the unused portion as promised at the conclusion of the case. Jamie Black did an outstanding job for me; she's an EXCELLENT attorney!

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.

I first met Jamie Black several years ago in a business transaction unrelated to the law profession and I was impressed with her. I recommended her to a family member who was going through a divorce and whose attorney at the time was not doing a very good job. Jamie took over her case and did an ex...cellent job. A couple of years later I found myself in the same situation and I turned to Jamie Black, who did an excellent job for me. Since, Jamie has represented another family member in a custody battle, again she did an excellent job. We have all recommended Jamie Black to others who are in need of a good attorney.

I called Jamie Black over the phone about my recent and very emotionally stressing divorce. The phone was answered by John, her husband who's personality immediately made me feel comfortable. He connected me through to Jamie and even though her schedule was completely full for the next week, she un...derstood the urgency of my situation and somehow fit me in the same day! Upon arriving, I was put at ease and treated like a real person, an equal. Not one of those offices where you get the whole "you're privileged to even be here" vibes. Not at all. It's very family oriented. I was even offered water and coffee, apparently this office runs on coffee! :D My Initial consult was very fairly priced, and I wasn't even charged extra despite the fact that I went over the usual time limit. Jamie is someone who really cares and it shows. Enough that she's willing to forego fee's for the benefit and wellbeing of a client. At the end of the consult I was just thinking to myself, I really hope she can take me on as a client with her schedule. Turns out she was able to. Throughout the process of what was a messy and emotional time in my life, it was reassuring to know Jamie was working hard for me. Her retainer was fair and competitive, especially considering her reputation and that several offices I had called before had recommended her. I found it odd that competition would do this but some lawyers really do have integrity, although in the minority, and they had lost cases to her and seen her performance in court for the past 10+ years. Jamie was able to save me alot of money through her expertise of family law in Indiana. She was able to talk the other side into settling out of court, I got the shared custody of my children that I had wanted and all with minimal emotional stress. I can't imagine how she pulled it off but I guess that's why lawyers aren't cheap. When I received my invoice explaining where my money went essentially I could tell she had spent more time than she was charging me for, and she never charges for a quick 5 minute phone call! There are few lawyers out there you can fully trust to have integrity and morals. Jamie is one of them. I would highly recommend her to anyone who want's what's just and fair. She goes the extra mile just to make sure you get what is just and fair.
