Grace A Jamra

I came to Grace, Basil and Michael with a case that could have dragged on for years, and cost me thousands annually, as well as the emotional burden and painful distraction that a continued divorce issue would inevitably create far into the future. Grace and her team immediately got accurately and... comprehensively up to speed in my case, determining the correct strategy while not over looking the other directions my case could have taken. The result was far better than I thought possible. Grace saw an opportunity to close out my entire situation, and using her intuitive and skilled application of the law and people savvy, saved me an annual expense of thousands as well as years of frustration. A bad review here accused them of caring only about billing…completely absurd! If that were the case I would have been a prime candidate for such behavior…when in fact what they did was rescue me, cutting to the heart of the matter and brilliantly out maneuvering opposing counsel. The atmosphere at their office is friendly and professional; a well-oiled machine with a sense of family and inclusion not only between themselves, but with their clients as well. Honestly, do yourself a favor... if you are in need of great family law representation, Grace and her team at Jamra and Jamra are more than worth the time of a consultation.

Grace Jamra, along with support from associate Michael Hanasab, saved my father/daughter relationship with my toddler. When my ex and I separated almost a year ago, my daughter's mother kept her from me and would not allow me access to see her. In addition, she filed for full physical and legal cu...stody. I went with an inexpensive attorney and the results were simply awful. I had two overnights per month, and two afternoons per week. I work from home so I can be with my daughter, and this was a devastating blow. I searched online, made phone calls and finally got the name of one of the top firms in Los Angeles. When speaking to one of the partners, it was clear that although I needed their help, I could not quite afford them. He told me that off the record, there is only one person he would recommend outside his firm, and that person was Grace Jamra. I called Grace, and immediately knew she would fight for what was best for my daughter, and for my relationship with her. When my ex's attorney found out who I hired, he told her she was in deep trouble, that Grace was a seriously formidable opponent. My ex and her attorney never knew what hit them. Within two months, she got me 50% legal AND physical custody, reduced child support and put many safeguards in place my previous attorney never asked for. Since then, my ex hired not one but TWO new attorney's to try to undo what Grace got for me, to no avail. After months of legal wrangling, Grace was able to lock down a permanent 'global settlement' that has since been signed by a judge and filed with the court. I am writing this review to tell you, if you are a parent and need someone to protect the relationship you have with you kid(s), Grace Jamra is the BEST ATTORNEY for the job. Don't take my word for it, ask around. Any good family law attorney will know who she is, and will say the same about her. She's smart, she's aggressive when necessary but always tries to meet in the middle and settle when possible and/or appropriate.

I retained Grace Jamra last year to handle my divorce. Grace was not only empathetic to my situation but was a great advocate for me in my particular case. On several occasions, Grace even communicated with me during late evenings and weekends when I was faced with some urgent matters. Grace was w...ell aware of my limited resources and wisely picked my battles against my husband's heavy-handed tactics. She was able to resolve my case quickly by bringing us to the settlement table without further court intervention and without a serious hemorrhage to my pocketbook in legal fees. Grace handled the settlement conference superbly against opposing counsel and was able to get me a far better settlement than what any judge would have given me! I have read the recent posts about Grace and found my experience to be the complete opposite of those written about her . I had one court hearing in my case, and was completely blown away by her courtroom presence and legal expertise. When we left the courtroom, two persons came up to her who were also waiting to have their cases heard, and asked for her business card so they could contact her regarding their own family law matters (and one already had his attorney present in court with him!). It appears that Grace is also well-regarded in the legal community as evidenced by the greetings from numerous other lawyers and the courtroom personnel she received while we were at the courthouse. She is my pick for anyone who is going through a divorce and was my "amazing Grace!"

I've been working with Grace and Michael for almost two years on a custody case, and these guys are stellar. I interviewed many of the top family law attorneys in Los Angeles before I hired Grace, and I have now had the experience of being exposed to many more during the last two years (the mother, ...on the other side, has gone through 6 different attorneys)...and Grace is by far the best attorney I've come across. She is incredibly smart, savvy, and strategic. Our case has been a difficult one (i.e. it wasn't cut and dry), and Grace's knowledge and expertise has been invaluable. We had what can only be described as a 'bad hand', and Grace and Michael have won every step of the way (and it wasn't luck, it was all strategy). Best of all, they've been honest, and fair. At every juncture that our case should have been settled, they've encouraged me to settle (and not keep fighting...which would have been in their best financial interests). Unfortunately, it takes two to tango and the mother hasn't been willing to settle, even though she's lost every step of the way. That is hopefully about to change (we have our final settlement conference coming up), but I can't say enough about how impressed I've been with Grace (and Michael, her partner). They are some of the best in the business, if not THE best, and I would highly recommend them to any one who wants to work with consummate professionals. I just read some of the other reviews, and I honestly could not disagree more. The business they are in is a highly charged business, emotionally, so I would take all criticism with a grain of salt. My experience with Grace and her firm has been nothing but exceptional.

My experience with Grace Jamra was, without a doubt, the worst experience of my life. Divorce and child custody are difficult experiences and Grace will only make them more excruciating while bleeding you dry in the process. She delegates her work to others and has absolutely no moral standards. P...rotect yourself and your family and steer clear of this lawyer.
