On consultation I was told she would be able to keep my son's mother from leaving state. She was aware we were never married making this either a straight lie to her me to retain her, or she's stupid. Also was not in work for over a week and knew the strict time line I was working with. That part was honestly a blessing in disguise because I was calling to retain her. Then I found out that what she told me was untrue. DO NOT HIRE and make sure your complaint goes to the board. Lawyers like her shouldn't exist. Get her unbarred.

I have never went through divorce and paid Jamie a lot of money to help me navigate mine. She did not tell me to get a credit report before the divorce was final and it came back to bite me big time. When I disputed things after the divorce, the judge told me it was my attorney’s responsibility to tell me to get a credit report.

Do not hire this attorney we've been waiting a week for a reply. No call No email.

I've found that Jamie doesn't seem to read ANY documents presented to her and she doesn't seem to proof read her own drafted documents. Her documents are always filled with grammatical errors and misspellings, which is quite frankly embarrassing. She gave bad advice, and I would have to remind her that another court document specifically read as the opposite of her advise, to which she replied "Oh, yeah! Haha, just do that then." I won my case under her because -I- was prepared and brought relative documents and exhibits that she was so "busy" and "forgot". Very bad lawyer. If you hire her, be prepared to act as a lawyer yourself and get familiar with the law, because that will be entirely relative.

We hired Jamie to assist us in regard to grandchildren and our will. She offered good advice and was honest about the law and our concerns. She communicated well with other lawyers and we were assured of our voice concerning our grandchild. I have recommended her to others without hesitation.

I hired Jamie Anderson to represent me in a divorce. My ex-husband who brought nothing to the marriage was trying to take anything and everything he could from me. Jamie was totally outsmarted by the opposing attorney (which really wasn't that good). When circumstances arose (that were serious to me) and needed my attorney's attention, I would literally have to keep trying to contact her to get her sometimes to no avail. After approximately a year or more, the divorce was final. I presented a plan for me to take custody of the home and gave it to Jamie Anderson. My ex refused it and Jamie turned my plan over to him and his attorney. I don't think she fought for me one minute on anything. He even was awarded spousal support. This was told to me on the final divorce date. Jamie encouraged me to take it stating that I could contest later if I quit the part time job I had, which I did. I was sent the divorce decree draft and then called into her office to sign the final paperwork. Feeling totally beaten in this case by poor legal representation, I hired another lawyer to handle the spousal support case. To make a long story short, after paying more legal fees to this new lawyer, we find out that a clause was inserted in the final draft that I signed stating that this order could not be terminated or revised as long as I live or if he were to remarry. I figure that the crooked opposing attorney put that clause in hoping Jamie Anderson would not read it and just have me sign it. Which is what I believed happened or I can't understand how Jamie Anderson would trick me like that when she was supposed to be working in my favor. DO NOT USE....FIND SOMEONE ELSE

After several consultations with male lawyers, I decided to go with a female lawyer thinking she would have my back. The male lawyers just said everything my soon-to-be ex was saying was true - end of story. I’m thinking, “you aren’t going to fight for me at all?” Well, Jamie didn’t do anything! My ex’s lawyer (also female) asked for paperwork from me so I asked for the same back from my ex, but Jamie never followed through. My ex put things in the decree that my new lawyer told me should never have been in there. Ex kept threatening me and Jamie did nothing. My ex’s lawyer was unethical and should have been disbarred. I have lost $160,000 in spousal support due to Jamie’s lack of support.

I have never had to have an attorney for anything until recently. I had no idea who to pick or where to start. I was recommended this attorney from someone close to me. She had handled a dissolution for him and he felt she was dependable. I imagine if i just needed someone to handle the paperwork and show up I would have been fine. However; I needed an attorney to advocate for me and my family in a "parenting time" dispute. The opposing party had 10 years worth of various convictions and no attorney to represent him in the case. He had also been absent for several years by his own choice. Jamie consulted with me on the phone initially and proposed all of these actions that she could utilize to uphold my views. All I would have to do was pay her a large fee that would cover everything, including the retainer. I emptied my savings and paid the fee. I felt positive that everything would work out. I still felt good after meeting with her in the office. In the days leading up to the pretrial the other party was arrested and pending trial for domestic violence charge #3. Pretrial date arrived. Jamie arrives 8 minutes before time to go into the court room. She asks me questions about the current situation and other party. Seemingly unprepared. Trial ends up delayed pending the outcome of the domestic violence case. Trial date arrives and again she arrives 10 minutes prior to time of trial. The outcome is what Jamie described as worst case scenario. There were no requests for psych evals or extra demands as I had been lead to believe. Just agreement with the judge to grant parenting time. This time also ordered to be supervised by myself and my fiance. Which i have to admit was an awkward nightmare for me. This is strange considering that I was at one time a victim of domestic violence at the hands of this very man. With documented protective orders in our history. I did not understand why or how this happened. But with the court order in place I upheld it. The documents were prepared by Jamie. I received them in the mail and noted a major clerical error in the meeting times. It read 2-4 hours instead of 2:00 to 4:00. I called to report it and she said no big deal. These visits lasted about 3 months before he stopped showing up. I contacted Jamie to see what i should do now. She had me come in and explained that I should pay another fee so she can file to modify the agreement, rather than just terminate it. Then we can go back and terminate it later for another fee I guess. I have not gone back and intend to retain other counsel to clear up this mess. I'm not blaming Jamie for this issue in my life. I think this is how it feels to be taken by a salesman or saleswoman in this case. I believed that she would follow through with all the things discussed before the actual court date. I collected every piece of background information and provided her with a detailed file. I definitely feel like she could have done more, but it is done now.
