I cannot possibly express the extent to which I am indebted to Jami Goldman .This women is responsible for my even being ABLE to have a family. I was in a very nasty situation had an ex that was lying to police, judges and our children, all of which created a very difficult legal landscape. Obviously every case is different, so bear that in mind, but Jami won EVERY SINGLE case we had before the court. Her advice allowed success on all the interactions with the court .I have a great relationship with my children .Were it not for Jami Goldman I wouldn't have even been able to have a relationship with my children at all.
Everyone in her law office was kind, helpful, expedient and available any time I needed help (which was OFTEN). I have recommended Jami Goldman to people without hesitation ever since she first represented me.
One other thing I want to say about Jami Goldman - she’s an HONEST and GOOD person. which I cannot say about any other attorney that has ever represented me (I've had some non family law matters as well as a previous family attorney. NONE of those three attorneys would I ever consider to be my backbone...). I trust ANY advice Jami gives without question. She has proven herself to be extraordinarily capable and insightful, as I said - even in situations where she cannot physically be present, she can advise you on what would be best to do.
HIGHLY recommended! :) thank you from the LUCERO FAMILY
I hired Jami and her firm to help me with a custody dispute regarding my 3 young children. She was extremely prompt at answering all my questions, and made an already exhausting process far more tolerable. I have worked with her for a couple years now and can truly say that her honest approach with both the apposing sides, as well as the clients that she represents has been a breath of fresh air. She did an excellent job at managing expectations, and exceeded them wonderfully. I absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to hire an attorney.
Jami grew up in Highland Park, Illinois and moved to Arizona in 1996.  She graduated from Chaparral High School and then she attended Scottsdale Community College.  While at Scottsdale Community College, Jami was active with student government, Phi Theta Kappa and woman’s soccer team.  Then, Jami attended California State University, Hayward where she graduated with a B.A. in Political Science and a minor in International Studies.  Â

Everything worked out
I will say I was probably not the easiest client to deal with. Apparently I had some unrealistic expectations. Jami would check in with me along the way and discuss ongoing options/strategies. In the end everything worked out and I was very pleased. Thank you Jami.

More than satisfied
Jami Goldman was great from the start of my case. She kept me updated on my case and handled everything extremely professionally and with urgency. She listened to me and treated me like a person and not just another client. I highly recommend her.

Order of Protection
There are no words to say how much I have appreciated Jami Goldman. My first experience, within a 2 day notice before my court hearing, she had all the facts practically memorized for court!….then I met her in person for the very first time only 30 min before the hearing! I am not familiar with court proceedings and was very nervous to respond, yet she was able to open the conversation, gave me simple directions to answer questions & fill in everything else needed! So awesome!
4 months later when she was out of work on an injury, remembering my previous case, (again with only 2 days notice) she agreed to take my new extension via audio call from her home….to the court hearing…..with me on the 3 way call! If that wasn’t impressive enough (out on an injury), she compiled all the info I submitted, asked a few additional questions & drafted 13 Exhibits to the court just 1 day before court. The documents were so overwhelming the other party realized it was not in his favor to appear for court!
I don’t want to give her too glowing of a recommendation, because I don’t want her to be overbooked if I need her help on short notice again! But in all honesty…..she is the best!

A great choice for a divorce lawyer!
Jami is a very knowledgeable, professional and efficient lawyer which helped me greatly in a difficult divorce involving child custody. She was creative in her problem solving and moved the case along despite lack of participation from the petitioner. I would highly recommend her services.

I wholeheartedly and highly recommend Jami Goldman. Jami successfully represented me in a heated and complex child custody case that lasted several months. Inside the courtroom, Jami is as articulate, poignant and influential as can possibly be. She not only delivers winning results, but she is empathetic and has a heart of gold. I highly recommend Jami!

Great advise
I consulted with Attorney Jami Goldman about my ex filing a Enforcement petition. She gave me great advise and told me what I needed to do to fight it. Not only did Jami go above and beyond, she calmed my nerves and I felt great after listening to her advise. I highly recommend Jami for any family law matters.

Excellent Lawyer
Jami took my bizarre divorce case and helped navigate the legal minefield to bring my divorce to a successful conclusion. Her and her staff kept me informed throughout the process and provided detailed hourly billing at regular intervals to allow me to see where my money was going. She represented herself, me and my interests well. Thank you.

Couldn't ask for better
When I first reached out to Jami about my case she was right on top of every detail and letting me know exactly what we could expect. As the case rolled on she never once steered me in a direction of false hope and kept it very real. We knew going into this that things could go either way but with the evidence I provided Jami she was able to build a strong foundation and handle it all from there. Jami kept my sons and my best interest as top priority and never made false promises of guaranteed victory. The end result of her hard work, dedication and genuine character made us victorious. I would definitely hire Jami again when needed not just because of the outcome but because of her passion and overall great attitude to work with thank you Jami My family greatly appreciates you.

Goldman is gold!
I hired Jamie for my child custody case in February of 2021, & she was exactly who I needed, start to finish. Ms. Goldman set the bar for standing up for my son & she never wavered in her work ethic or her passion for what she does. My case wasn't the easiest, & may have tested her sanity.. But she came through it flawlessly & was perfectly prepared every step of the way. I can't thank her enough.

An Attorney who has YOU as first in importance!
I don't know where to start when talking about Jami. This was my first "lawyer" experience, and I really didn't know what to expect. I had always heard more negatives than positives about lawyers. However, Jami IS DEFINATELY a positive. She is very trustworthy, she tells you what to expect, and how to handle it. She would ask my opinion first when a situation would come up that required a decision. When I would give my response, she would discuss my thoughts as well as her thoughts and we would come up with a good answer. Jami really cares. She has a kind heart...but, let me tell you, she can be tough when she needs to be. She not afraid of tackling anything. She runs to the fire, not away from it. I would trust Jami's lead in any situation. That is why I never question recommending her to friends and family. The response when asking about Jami Goldman is usually the same: SHE IS AWESOME!! I wish Jami all the best life has to offer her. She is deserving.

Jami Goldman - My first lawyer experience
I recently had to deal with a facetious Injunction filed against my family. Having never been to court for anything more than a traffic ticket, I was extremely nervous. So, I asked a few friends if they had a lawyer they would recommend. A number of them recommended Jami Goldman. I gave Jami a call and she set aside some time to meet me & my wife.
Within minutes of meeting Jami, my nerves were calmed. She was extremely polite. She listened to my concerns without interrupting. All my life I was under the impression that Lawyers were there to just 'tell you how it is'. This was not the case with Jami. She took my concerns legitimately to heart. As I explained things, she took notes. Not once did I ever feel as though she wasn't listening to me. She never checked her phone or laptop during our consult. In other words, I had her attention 100%. After explaining my situation, she asked for some more details. As we conversed back and forth, she explained how the court process would work at the hearing. She then fully explained the law in regards to Injunctions. She gave me explicit laws and explanations of terms & verbiage. I mean, let's be realistic, I don't speak legal mumbo-jumbo. However, she was able to break the law down to layman's terms which I could understand. After explaining the laws in ways I could understand, she came up with a game plan for me to take into court. This included advice such as 'Ensure you take a picture of this' or 'Make a copy of this police report for the Judge'. She recommended and advised things I had never even considered.
After my consult with Jami, I was relieved I sought legal council. The game plan we developed was solid, I fully understood it & I had a firm grasp of the law when it comes to injunctions. When I say 'We came up with', I mean 'We'. She included me & my wife in the entire process.
If I ever need a lawyer for a consult or to outright hire, I will call Jami right away. She has a client for life.
Oh did I mention I won my court case? It wouldn't have been possible without Jami! Thank you Jami!
