A huge mistake

Was a huge mistake hiring this guy. He threw a tantrum in the middle of the case and wanted to withdraw. He was totally out of line. It was during the time of his episodes which you can read about if you google. He was a nightmare throughout the case and had many tantrums which were stemming from so...mething else. I would do your research on him and definitely find another attorney.

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Pompous. Incompetent. Condescending.

I knew it was a mistake to contact Jamie after recalling his disciplinary action in 2016 but I thought I’d give him a chance. My initial consultation with Jamie consisted of a spontaneous, random five minute phone conversation in which he listened to absolutely nothing I said. Instead he acte...d like I couldn’t understand an elementary concept that he was purveying. He seemed more interested in the sound of his own voice and collecting the $20k that he quoted me rather than actually considering how he could be of assistance. He went on to brag about how he had been an attorney for 13 years (with an asterisk*) as he gave out incorrect information about possible courses of action. Obviously this was not a pleasant or productive experience. Fortunately, I have found a much more informed attorney that has my best interest at heart versus his ego and his wallet.

Jamie Deremiah is an Excellent Lawyer! Highly Recommended!

I can't say enough great things about him! Very professional, intelligent, easy to talk to and get along with, easy going, great guy, and most importantly he knows what he is doing! I'm not sure what else to say other than I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing an attorney.
