Client

Jamie was amazing. During the time I worked with her she explained each step in the case and made sure I understood everything. She was great at responding to me and presented the pros and cons for my lawsuit and this allowed me to make an educated and wise decisions. She was extremely knowledgable a...bout the laws and processes throughout my case. She was able to negotiate a settlement I was comfortable with and I think she did a terrific job in representing me. I highly recommend her!

Strategic Thinker

Jamie is an incredibly practical, thoughtful, non-nonsense lawyer. She is a great counselor and strategic thinker. And is unflappable. Given her line of business (employment law), being unflappable is really important! I have referred her to 3 other people already, she is an amazing asset.

Fantastic advocate and calming guide through difficult times.

Jamie was recommended to me by a trusted peer to assist me in a difficult employment situation. From consultation, through the engagement to post-resolution, Jamie was prompt, professional, efficient and most critically, patient, candid and reassuring to me and handled opposing counsel with incredib...le courtesy. When we need lawyers, we are often in times of crisis and having counsel that takes the time to calmly explain things, provide options, and understand you and your situation in such detail is what differentiates lawyers who can get the job done from those who you come to realize were essential to helping you survive and even thrive in times of transition, change and crisis. Jamie is the dependable, smart and experienced person you want to have on your side if you ever need a lawyer. She will give you options and get the best result that can be gotten for you in your circumstances based on your directions. To work with Jamie was to have a wonderful encounter that came out of an otherwise awful experience.
