Ann Watson Jamieson

I divorced a few years ago and found out I needed a lawyer for some last minute issues with the ex husband, but I did not want to go back to my previous lawyer. Ann was highly recommended by a friend. I'm so happy I found Ann, she's been amazing handling my case and very timely and so helpful explain...ing what was going on in each step of the case, I am so grateful I found her. I've already recommended her to some friends. Thank you Ann and Kathy for being there for me when I really needed it.

I was fortunate enough to work with Mrs. Jamieson during my absurdly contentious divorce and custody trial. Should you require a trial as I did, it will become strikingly clear that Mrs. Jamieson stands head and shoulders above her peers. You will find she has a firm grasp on family law, rarely l...osing an objection or challenge due to her knowledge base and thorough preparation. I was stunned by how superior her performance was in comparison to opposing counsel. She is a consummate professional with an outstanding work ethic and a razor-sharp legal mind that brings ideas to the table that other lawyers can't or wont. In a profession such as law, you are often best served by the right combination of experience, youthful energy and expertise. She seems to have found that ideal balance. For example, she will not hesitate to consult with her more-experienced partners on any matter that would benefit from their input. Hiring her is like hiring 3-4 lawyers in one. Most importantly, Mrs. Jamieson is a person with humility and empathy. These are traits rarely found in legal professionals who are as capable as she is. She was able to tolerate my shortcomings and put forth a case presentation that we were very proud of. While a verdict has not been issued in my case, I feel her performance was superb enough to warrant a full endorsement prior to a conclusion. Often we focus more on the end result in legal matters, however the journey to that end can be long, challenging, and at times, overwhelming. You could not choose someone better than Ann Jamieson to share that journey with.

I hired Ann almost three years ago to represent me in my divorce and then again last year in a custody dispute. My primary concern both times was the safety of my child. Due to my ex's non-compliance with our decree and court orders we spent the majority of the last three years in some form of liti...gation. Through it all, Ann was my rock and fought for me and my child as if I was her only client. She communicated regularly with updates, was thorough in all her research and work, collaborated with her partners when necessary and has never let me down. She is extremely knowledgeable, prepared and takes whatever time is required to do things right and in your best interest. She made me feel like I had a friend and partner in my struggles, not just a hired representative. When it finally came time for our multi-day trial she was there early, worked through lunch and re-capped with me at the end of each day. She always did her homework and was able to substantiate and back up all our requests with applicable, current case law. Ultimately, she was able to ensure the best interest of my child was carried out and the judge denied all my ex's demands in full. Ann even won her argument for and we were awarded 100% attorney's fees. (She is so good that while we were in recess, waiting for the judge to rule, my ex approached her and complimented her and told her "no matter how this turns out, [he] wanted her to know she is truly an amazing attorney.") Having used two other family practice attorneys and interviewed a few others, Ann is by far the best I've ever met. I cannot praise her enough for her dedication and energy. Regardless of the issues at hand, I know Ann will always give you the best advice (even if it's not what you want to hear) and will be straight with you. I highly recommend Ann and can attest to her amazing ability to navigate through the complex, violent, and oftentimes exhausting requests and behaviors of my ex.

When I hired Ann I was already technically divorced under false pretenses and wrongful misleading. When I first called with my mom I was a wreck, I was scared, nervous and just plain mad but Ann assured me everything would be okay. The time came to meet with Ann and I gave her every detail on the tim...eline of my relationship, marriage and divorce, she was there to help. Within a week we were in court with my ex husband and his lawyer, words were never crossed between my ex and I only the lawyers, my ex husband just pretty much GAVE up and gave in to my requests. I was literally divorced twice but the second time with Ann was easier and less stressful than the first. I recommend Ann to anyone needing legal assistance with any family law problems. She's phenomenal and gets the job done WITH justice and equality.

A lady from my support group at church recommended Ann. When I met Ann I was a wreck. My husband cleared out our bank accounts and left me with four young children and I was a stay at home mom. Ann provided me with so much information on the process of divorce through her law firm's introduction vid...eo. It outlined the process of divorce, how to conduct your self during court proceedings, and many other informative things. I was always asked if I had any questions and even if I did not Ann would go over typical questions that most people would have. Every day I heard from Ann by email or phone call. If she was going to be busy she would always let me know what she had going on for her day and week so I would not feel neglected if she didn't respond right away. At the end of the week her firm would send me a very detailed invoice that showed where every penny went to for my case and she was always open if there were any questions. When she communicated with m y ex husband's lawyer or anyone she always sent me a professional email statement that showed exactly what she sent and the response. If his lawyer didn't respond within a reasonable time frame she would contact me and let me know what the next course of action would be. Ann never did anything that would cost without getting my input or permission. Ann always pulled out her big lawyers books and would dig deeper into what she knew we needed to fight for in order to make sure we had everything we needed for court. She always met with me at least a week prior to any time we needed to go to court to go over any details and to explain all the possible outcomes. Ann knew the law so much and she had such a great team and she had so much resources that she created a divorce decree that will secure my four children now and their future no matter what happens to my ex husband. One of the things Ann taught me was to trust her and listen to what she tells me. She told me no matter what be honest and stick to what any order says no matter how painful or what my ex may do. She also told me to document everything on Our Family Wizard on the our family wizard website. In addition to documenting everything she recommended for me to make everything I document accessible for my ex through his our family wizard account. The reason she recommended for me to do that was so if he had any disagreements with anything he could respond. Everything she told me to do I did. Six months into our divorce decree my ex wasn't paying the support he was ordered and he didn't pay or deliver the things he was ordered to in the decree. I contacted Ann again and hired her to do an enforcement. Within a week Ann had everything together and had my ex served. Even though my ex didn't do what he was ordered I never kept our children from him nor did I do anything like calling and harassing him this was advice Ann stressed constantly. When it was time for court I had so much paper trail to support me that Ann was able to get my ex husband's lawyer number three to talk him into EVERYTHING WE WERE REQUESTING. Ann did such a great job with her research, knowledge, and execution that I did not have to go in front of a judge for my decree or the enforcement. She is a VERY aggressive professional young lady and she is going to continue to go far in her career. in conclusion I would recommend Ann Watson because she is trustworthy by giving her clients the best legal advice that will fit the need of the client, she is very responsive and responds with in 24 hours, she is knowledgeable and she will pull out her big lawyer books right in front of a client to do more research, and she will keep you informed through the entire process. Even though Ann has only been licensed for a year I can promise you her integrity goes far beyond the years she has been practicing and that alone should be a reason why you should contact Ann to assist you in your legal matters.
