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
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.
