Tamara B. Packard

Attorney Tamara Packard is an excellent lawyer because she is an able, educated and experienced person but more so because she is a good person. At first blush, this may sound like a strange way to evaluate a lawyer but after a bit of reflection this makes perfect sense. Before I engaged Ms. Pack...ard, to represent me in a professional licensing case, I had already spoken with a couple of lawyers competent in the field. Tamara was the last attorney that I interviewed and before the end of our conversation, I knew I wanted her as my lawyer. Why? Bright lawyers abound but bright passionate lawyers, without monster egos, are far and few between. She falls into the latter category. By the middle of our initial conversation I could sense Ms. Packard’s interest in my case, in its issues and in me. I could also sense that she had a good grasp on the subject matter, although she was not afraid to say, “I don’t know, I’ll find out.” She was an excellent listener and was interested in every detail. After I retained Attorney Packard, she requested documents from me, from others and did her own research as well. Not until she was completely informed did she formulate a strategy. Tamara Packard, although capable of spontaneous response, is not a lawyer who “flies by the seat of her pants,” rather; Ms. Packard is a lawyer who is well prepared for her case. Attorney Packard always was available for my telephone calls and always kept me apprised of the case as it progressed. Tamara was always open to my suggestions and did not make any attempt to “bully” me into her way of thinking. Our relationship was based on an hourly billing schedule ands I believe that I was treated fairly. The hours billed were clearly put into the matter and I have little doubt that she failed to record some of her time. Last, but very important, Tamara not only knew what to say and when to say it, but she also knew when to not say anything. She was a successful advocate for me and I am sure that, win or lose, anyone represented by Attorney Tamara Packard is a person well represented.
