Awesome lawyer!

I found Jaime Cornish to be a superb family attorney. She knows the law and did very well at presenting my case. I would use her again in a heart beat. She was also very caring and truly showed interest in my case and I can't say that for most attorney's.

THE BEST

I and my family will forever be regretful for the giant impact that Jami had in our lives.She handled our very challenging child custody /child kidnapping case like the super star that she is. Jami new our case inside out ,she was always available ,she kept us informed , she is effective ,she is a p...rofessional that is willing to go to battle for your case as if this was her personal life matter. I can not come up with words to express the phenomenal impression that she left on our lives. Jami was honest ,aggressive,brave and also knew what tools to use in every step of my very challenging case. Thank you so much Jami for every thing you have done for us .I wish you well with your careerand your life in general .We will never be able to pay you back for every thing you did. Emiliano

Fantastic Lawyer

I used Jami Cornish in a recent battle with my ex husband over vacation time. From the first email to consultation to the hearing Jami and her staff were extremely supportive and helpful. I felt that they were personally invested in my case and I wasn't just another client. They shared my disbelie...f and upset at some of the things my ex pulled, while still being professional. They were sympathetic to issues, and laid out all the options in moving forward. Response times were very quick - regardless of the hour - and very thorough. Cost and rates are reasonable and she worked with me when the cost of my case became much more than planned (all on the ex). I highly recommend this attorney to anyone having to go through legal issues with ex spouses. A great lawyer and also a very sympathetic ear.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
