Family Law

Jazmin represented me as I went through a divorce. Her work was phenomenal. She brings a unique combination of intelligence, empathy, tenacity, and an outrageous work ethic. She's equally adept working through formal court proceedings, individual negotiations, and giving legal (and personal) advic...e. When Jazmin gives you advice, think about it very, very carefully. Then take it. Because in my experience, every single time she gave me advice, I found that she was 100% accurate and right. I was in a very unfortunate marital situation and suffering emotionally. Jazmin helped me through court hearings, spousal negotiations, research into appropriate actions, and appropriate financial distribution of assets. She then helped me follow through the many detailed strings that led to final closure of the issue. This was a very, very tough situation. Jazmin's professionalism, talent, dedication, integrity, empathy, and just plain hard work pulled me through my troubles. She put my needs front and center and fought for me every single time I needed help. I will be forever grateful for her work on my behalf. If I ever find myself in need of legal assistance in the future, I will immediately give Jazmin a call.

Traffic

Jazmin is an AMAZING attorney! I had a consultation with her and right from that moment I knew she was extremely knowledgeable on the law and that I wanted to work with her. She was well versed and exceptionally thorough when it came to my case. She definitely "crosses her t's and dots her i's" wh...en it comes to defense. Jazmin leaves no grounds uncovered and will make sure that she does everything she can to get the best possible outcome. I have never met an attorney that has been so dedicated to their clients the way Jazmin is, she looks out for our best interest 100%. Jazmin made sure to present the evidence necessary to keep me on the road with a valid driver's license as well as keep many other consequences to a minimum and some off the board! This is the attorney you want, someone who is there for YOU!

Traffic citations

I hired Jazmin for two traffic citations I received. She went above and beyond for me filed a motion for evidence that was not received on timely manner and eventually at all so case was thrown out. She was very nice and comforting through whole process. She knows the ins and outs of all the laws sh...e deals with did excellent job would highly recommend.

Professional and knowledgable

A coworker referred Jazmin Newton Butt after working through her divorce. I wasn't certain of anything at that point, but she was able to walk me through all possibilities of what may happen and through the process. She was very thorough. It was terrifying, but I walked out of there knowing I was on ...the right path and in good hands. A contested divorce involving child custody is not something I would wish on anyone, but if you find yourself in a situation like mine where you have no choice, you need to make sure you have a good attorney. I recommend Jazmin Newton Butt to everyone I know!
