Jamie Hazlett

When I was beginning the process of choosing representation for my divorce, it was actually recommended to me, more than once, to schedule a consult with Ms. Hazlett, specifically with the intention to make a booking conflict so that the opposing side could not retain her. After my consult, I felt so... confident that I retained Ms. Hazlett myself! Ms. Hazlett was calm, confident, knowledgeable, and reassuring. Her team has been just as excellent. They are friendly, organized, kind, professional, and always on top of the details of my case. Communication is prompt and clear. My questions are answered quickly and followed up on, as is filing paperwork on my behalf with the court. I genuinely feel like they are on my team. I have had a great experience working with Ms. Hazlett and her team, and recommend them definitely.

I retained Jamie shortly after my ex started hiding my child from me. A few weeks after I filed for divorce I started getting DHS complaints, but she quickly got a court order to go back to 50/50 time like we had done before. Over the 2+ years of this divorce I received several, several more complain...ts to DHS from my ex, or mandatory reporters my ex would talk to. Jamie helped me navigate this process with DHS. She was very realistic in what my expectations should be and never gave me false hope which I feel others would do in order to keep you as a client. This was a significant case of Parental alienation with several DHS complaints. Her guidance was key in helping me through this as her support was amazing. I felt so significantly protected by her and her reputation at the court house. By the time we got to court after 2 years of struggles my ex had started hiding my child from me again for almost 2 months. We went to court and I was able to get 50/50 parenting time because of her. Through her hard work and attention to detail she was able to discover that DHS was actually concerned about my ex at the point of getting the divorce, and that law enforcement was as well. She had them testify which was significant for me and my child (who by this point had his own attorney that wasn't willing to meet with me. They would only meet with my ex and my child). Jamie stood her ground very well against two attorneys and was able to show the judge it was in my child's best interest to have me involved. She was able to articulate the concern for parental alienation in a way that allowed the judge to see what was happening. As a result of this the judge ordered and reunification expert be involved who has developed concerns for what my child goes through with me ex. Although at first she was very direct with me, as time went on and she saw the concerning patterns emerging, she had such empathy for me which I found very helpful during that struggling time. I would recommend her to anyone that I felt was honest. My best piece of advice is never try and be less than truthful with any attorney, but especially with her. I did feel that she fought so hard for me and my child because I was honest with her and provided documents initially that helped show that. But as time went on it was her hard work that discovered more documents that supported my case. I fully plan to retain her until my child is 18 as I feel she protected him when I felt like I wasn't able to. I hold her in such high respect for the great person, and attorney she is.

I called and made a consultation to retain her for my divorce case. When I called, the secretary did a conflict of interest report which came back negative so we proceeded to book the consultation. Upon my arrival they asked me if they had previously represented me because they "knew my name" which c...aused me some alarm. I arrived with a friend to which they told me they would not consult with me in her presence. Seeing these red flags I decided not to proceed with the consultation. After some further investigation I discovered my Ex-wife had contacted her out of spite (turns out they are friends of friends) and told her not to consult with me in the presence of my friend. This attorney isn't upfront and unethical in her practices.
