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.

Sealed Record...

For YEARS I was stuck in a circumstance that had my past hold me back from future employment, residence, and opportunity. After hiring Jamika, I was able to get my record sealed and now I’m back eligible for true gainful employment! She was timely, even during COVID-19...she was nothing shy of amazin...g. Thank you again!

Non Disclosure Sealed

Ms. Webster did an amazing job handling a case I had years ago to be sealed. The same day we spoke briefly within minutes she was e-filing my case and got right on it . In the amount of a few “weeks“ the judge signed off and sealed my case. She has helped me on my journey to success by sealing my cas...e. It was worth every dollar , and things got done in a timely manner even through this pandemic. She communicated every step of the process with me. You rock Queen! Continue to help change lives like you did for me . I’m forever grateful and wish you much More Success. She is highly qualified to do the job . Much love .

Defendant v. Texas Attorney General

Going into court is a hard situation for anybody especially not knowing the outcome. Retaining Jamika Wester as my attorney was the best decision of my young adult life. I felt at all times dignified and in the hands of someone who was working with me for my well being. I expected to keep having my c...ase reset for a year due to prior cases I've seen with my friends but when she took the case it actually felt like something was getting done. She diligently worked and got my case dismissed without any class or mandatory lifestyle changes. Overall it was a positive outcome to a situation that everyone would dread. She was always very punctual as well as responsive if there was any question about the case. I would definitely keep in contact in case of any more future legal hardship. 5 stars doesn't describe how I feel knowing my record is clean thanks to Ms. Wester. If you are in need of a Attorney she is a legal professional that will have your back like you are family.

Case dismissed

I contacted Atty Wester very last minute. She immediately accepted my case and showed up in court the very next day. My case was kind of personal to me and she was very reassuring and comforting the firs day I met her. Fast forward nearly 6 months of resets , she always was very realistic with me and... fought to get my charge dismissed ! I’m forever grateful and appreciative. Atty Wester is the best !
