Wealth of knowledge and care!

I can’t say enough good things about Jami. Her professionalism and experience in family matters is top notch. She is passionate about helping and genuinely cares for families. Her heart goes out to those hurting and will give you the shirt off her back to help. Jami represented me back in 2018 and I ...highly recommend her. An incredible human and incredible lawyer.

Simply the Best

Mrs Cornish represented me in a very high conflict child custody case for my now five year old autistic son.. I can honestly say, without a doubt, that I have my son today because of Ms Cornish' excellent representation of the facts.in my case. Her tenacity in the courtroom is unmatched, in addition ...to her vast knowledge and resources related to family law gave me the confidence and the hope I was so desperately needing to keep my head up.through this difficult time. She was professional, sincere, trustworthy and very client service-focused during my very difficult and complex case. I would highly recommend Jami Cornish  to anyone needing family law representation in the Phoenix area.

One of the best attorney!!

It has been over 10 yrs since Jami helped me when my family was falling apart, she fought for every thing I deserve and of course, won! She has been a light to my family till today. Infact, my son who was 6yrs old then, decided to follow her footsteps and is currently studying law at ASU. Jami, I hav...e been searching to find for years, I am glad to find you online. I will visit you soon!

Beyond Grateful!

The quality of service that Jami Cornish provided was unbelievable, to say the least. She was there for me through some of the hardest times I ever had to face in my life, but she was a wonderful support and was there for me whenever I needed her - Day or night. She is an incredible attorney, as we...ll as a wonderful person, and I have been nothing short of impressed with how she handled all of the complexities of my case. Her professionalism and ethics are second to none. She fought for me and my children and helped us get our lives back. I cannot count how many times I have thanked her or her legal team, but it is not enough. I would and have recommended her to everyone.

Simply Amazing

Jami and her team are simply amazing! They have worked with me through some extremely stressful, emotional and frustrating issues and have never once not been able to keep me calm and focused. Jami is simply amazing at what she does. Her passion for what she does for her clients comes from a place... in her heart unlike any other attorney I've worked with. She is real, honest, extremely knowledgeable and never once has she misguided me or had me pay for services when she truly felt it was not worthwhile to spend the money. Her honesty, tact and intellect are unlike any other Family Law Attorney I know. I've recommended her several times and every time I have those I've referred have thanked me for connecting me with her because she has done an absolutely amazing job for each and every one of them. If you are in the unfortunate circumstance to need Jami's services you should absolutely, without a doubt consult with Jami and you'll see quickly how truly amazing she is. She will always work hard to obtain the most positive outcome possible based on each and every circumstance. What sets Jami apart from other attorneys is that she treats each case as if it were truly her own personal case and that's what makes her as talented and successful as she is. Don't take it from me though, go consult with her if you need Family Law Services and you will see for yourself her passion and knowledge is second to none.
