Why I Do This Work
Family law is not just my profession—it’s my passion. I’ve seen firsthand how overwhelming divorce and custody battles can be, and I believe that every woman deserves an advocate who listens, understands, and fights for what’s right.
My mission is to provide clear guidance and strong representation so that you can focus on rebuilding, thriving, and moving forward with confidence.
Whether you need fierce courtroom advocacy or a steady hand to guide you through negotiations, I am here to help.
Life Beyond the Courtroom
While I am deeply committed to my clients, my greatest role is that of wife and mother. My husband, Dan, and I share a beautiful life together, raising our two wonderful children. They remind me every day of the importance of family, resilience, and love.
I understand the challenges of balancing family life with major transitions, and that perspective shapes the way I approach every case. I fight for my clients the same way I would fight for my own family—with dedication, compassion, and unwavering commitment.

Very professional. Went above and beyond and took a personal interest in my case. Always fought for the right thing and the fair thing. While I sincerely hope I will never need a divorce attorney again, I will always recommend Women's Divorce to anyone I know who needs those services.

Always their for you Jamie helped me with the most difficult time in my life . Thank you
Callie A.
Jamie is very kind and her assistant Trinette is very helpful too! Their rates were very reasonable (compared to other lawyers) and there were no hidden fees. Just be prepared if your going through a nasty domestic violence divorce, it's a chaotic journey and it is very frustrating and extensive. Not due to the lawyer, due to the current wisconsin laws and a lot of just situational things.
