Relationship: Worked together on matter
A few days ago one of my clients in Central Texas needed our assistance in returning their grandchild to CO. Jamie was their local CO council and did a REMARKABLE job with getting all the documents we needed to our local judge. When they arrived and I reviewed them, I was simply delighted at the quality of work she had done that saved me hours of research and risking the change that I might appear unprepared to a client that had retained us only the day before (this was a capias hearing, so emotions were already high). Jamie's concise grasp of the matter(s) and her team's rapid response to the developing situation on the ground in TX allowed us to prevail. I highly endorse this attorney. VERY impressed and grateful.
