Type Of Lawyer You Need During A Difficult Time

I hired Jamie, and worked closely with him and Emily, during my divorce process. With 3 young children, I had a lot of questions about the process. Jamie & Emily were quick to respond, alleviated any concerns I had, and generally let me know that there were people in my corner.

Waste of Time

We (client and supporting family) hired Jamie for a divorce and child custody case involving family violence. Jamie took his time getting the facts of the case and discussing plans. The emergency protective order expired during this time, but he did not respond to our request to extend it. His explan...ations would be minimal, prompting us to ask questions, then he still wouldn't answer our questions, all while charging for each email and phone call. Finally, after over a month of working with him, he showed us an original petition draft that was full of factual errors and asked for all the wrong things. We finally had to cut our losses and start from scratch with another attorney.

Made a great experience during a tough life event

Regardless of circumstances, there is nothing good about divorce, or fun about it by any means. That said, Jamie and his team were exceptional every step of the way and I would recommend him without a doubt. He had patience with me as I navigated a difficult divorce situation and ensured I was fully ...informed of my options and rights throughout the process. When I decided to move through it all in the most financially responsible way, he was able to provide advice that kept money in my pocket instead of extra legal fees for either party. Jamie was great to work with, and Emily, his paralegal, was also fantastic. The two were always quick with responses and communication and always kept me in the loop with process. I couldn't recommend Jamie more, if you find yourself in the murky waters of divorce.

Jamie is the BEST!

Jamie was one of members of my divorce legal squad and I am SO lucky that I had him on my team. He is detail oriented, able to see the 'big picture', solid in his understanding of the law, calm, funny, responsive, and very easy to work with. He maintains a healthy perspective, helps think through s...trategy and focuses on a functional, long-term resolution. Hope you are lucky enough to get to work with him. He almost made getting divorce a fun process. . . almost. :)
