Truly professional

Jamy was proactive the moment I contacted him in regards my estate planning. I am not a native english speaker and with all legal terms it can get confusing. He was absolutely patience, attention to details, went above and beyond of what we expected. My husband and I highly recommend Jamy and his leg...al firm. Truly a professional!

Avvo Rating

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.
