Jami fair and reasonably priced

Jami did a payment plan for me because i couldnt afford to hire a lawyer- she was reasonably priced and didnt charge me for things i could do myself. She still helps me to this day. She is the best

Best in Louisiana

I found myself in a serious legal issue and felt overwhelmed, not knowing what to do or where to start. Someone recommended Jami Pellerin to me and I reached out to her. She quickly responded and gave me a consultation. She was great about staying in contact every step of the way and following th...rough. I always felt like she had my best interest at heart. Jami is warm, empathetic, and knowledgeable. She listened to me and did everything in her power to fight for me. Not only is she knowledgeable but she knows her way around the courtroom. I highly recommend Jami for all of your legal needs.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
