Hit and run by a wrecker driver! Personal Injury

I came to Jamika by recommendation of friend. I had been involved in a hit and run with a commercial wrecker. This was a tough case that required a lot of investigative research. I gave her the license plate and she did the rest. She is a cut above the rest and will handle your business with absolute... professionalism, and the aggression of a pit bull. I would highly recommend to friends and family.

Top Notch Lawyer

Had a case for Assaulting a Peace officer. Called Jamika and she got right into it. Handled it professionally with ease. During the whole case I didn’t have to worry, it was like I was on cruise control. She is a boss at what she does got my case dismissed & & no I don’t have nothing to worry about a...s I look forward with my life. With jamika as your lawyer, there’s never a wrong with her, she’s fully committed to you and the case!

Got into some legal trouble and didn’t know what to do. Came across miss wester and she eased my stress. From the jump she was business and stood on that. Got my case dismissed and life back on track. I would definitely recommend this great woman for any needing some to fight for you against this leg...al system!!!!!!!

Best lawyer in texas

Ms.Wester was very diligent with my case. She fought on my behalf until we got a dismissal on a felony case. She knows exactly what’s she’s doing when it comes to fighting for her clients. Would recommend her 10/10

Dissatisfied

Ms. Wester is an inexperienced lawyer in motor vehicle accident cases. She has a plethora of Instagram post displaying knowledge of criminal laws. I was in treatment for a motor vehicle accident dating back to November of 2019. Ms. Wester told me the other parties insurance company would only pay... a certain amount of funds towards my settlement and that my insurance company wouldn’t pay the excess amount of medical bills in regards to my case, which was absolutely FALSE. She was adamant that only one insurance company would settle my claim. She had no desire to meet with me for an initial consultation at her office when she first accepted my case. Typically this is an ethical practice when an attorney hasn’t had the privilege of meeting a new client face to face, to make sure the attorney is legitimate. She also didn’t offer me a zoom conference in lieu of a meeting. She rescheduled the first meeting once I had already arrived at her office and she was not present. The physicians she referred me to were very detrimental to my health!! Once I brought my dissatisfaction to her attention she became very condescending and rude and thought it would be a humorous gesture to finally meet with me at her office only to refuse me further representation, because she did not have the knowledge on how to settle my case effectively. I hired a new attorney who was able to achieve everything Ms.Wester failed to do. My new attorney settled my case with BOTH insurance companies. It would NOT be in your best interest to retain Ms. Wester for a motor vehicle accident case.
