Exceptional business and trust litigator

Galati led a very complex, multi-case matter that spanned over five years. She was professional, knowledgeable, and well-prepared. Her written work product is persuasive, well-organized and technically perfect. She defended hundreds of claims, in cases that involved thousands of pieces of evidence.... She has a remarkable ability to recall specific details, and yet remains focused on the big picture. In our cases she demonstrated high level understanding of accounting, economic analysis, and both income and estate tax strategies. She worked very professionally and efficiently with lawyers from three other firms. We will continue engage her in the future as cases arise; we recommend her without reservation.

William Low

Trusts lawyer | Nov 01

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Jaime is an exceptional lawyer. I had the privilege of working closely with her for over two years on an incredibly complex probate and trust litigation, including trial--which lasted several months. Jaime did an outstanding job and was largely responsible for our success in that case. She is a hard worker; her oral advocacy, legal analysis and writing skills are excellent; she has great people skills and her ethics are above reproach. I have no hesitation whatsoever giving Jaime my highest recommendation and endorsement."

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.

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.
