“We came to Jamison and RM through a referral from another law firm and we are so happy to have found him. As with any legal situation, time is usually of the essence and Jamison immediately worked on our case. He listened to our needs and desire to reach an amicable resolution with the other party. After a few short days of him navigating things on our behalf, we reached a resolution that both parties were satisfied with. Jamison was very professional, offering his opinion on the matter, and guiding us in moments that are often driven by emotion. We hope we never need his services again but we will not hesitate to use Jamison again if the need arises!”
