Got my divorce done
I was told by several lawyers, both in Jamaica and in the U.S., that I could not get divorced in the U.S. because I married a Jamaican National in Jamaica. Tell it to Chris. He had me divorced less than 2 months. Talking about quick service. Not too expensive either. Go Chris.

MR. TILMAN IS AN HONEST ATTORNEY
MR. TILMAN HANDLED A CAR ACCIDENT FOR ME IN 1993 THEN IN MY DIVORCE AND BANKRUPTCY IN 1997..IT IS NOW 2010 AND IF ANYONE SAYS "THEY NEED A GREAT ATTORNEY" THE FIRST 3 WORDS OUT OF MY MOUTH ARE "ATTORNEY CHRISTOPHER TILMAN". (OH YEAH, I JUST GOT A SPEEDING TICKET 3 MONTHS AGO.) I'VE NOTICED I DON'T SEE HIM ON T.V. BUT WHEN I DRIVE PASS HIS LAW OFFICE THERE SEEMS TO BE STEADY BUSINESS. SO I'M GUESSING HE'S A "WORD OF MOUTH BUSINESS." THOSE ARE THE BEST. THE LADIES IN THE OFFICE ARE VERY FRIENDLY ALSO...I THANK GOD FOR ALL OF THEM!
