Jami Fosgate was wonderful during a very difficult time. She offers a flat rate for uncontested divorces that is very reasonable. She and her staff took away all of the stress and worry about the multitude of paperwork that needs to be completed and turned into the courts in varying stages of the process. I am so happy I found her! She brought a positive calm to a strenuous process. I highly recommend her. Plus she offers free consultations.
Jami was a rock in the middle of all the uncertainties and apprehensions that go with divorce, no matter how amicable it may be. She is absolutely trustworthy, reliable, honest, and fair. And yes, affordable. Adjectives that do not usually pertain to lawyers but that's why having Jami on your corner through the whole process is such a comfort. Her guidance and help was invaluable. I tried doing the paperwork on my own but it is really complicated. There were steps and documents I would miss. Jami was there to make sure all the paperwork was completed and submitted. I am so grateful to have found Jami in my time of need
Using Jami Fosgate's Family Law on my amicable divorce saved me time, money and stress. Jami's expertise, diligence, compassion and professionalism helped me through the process with no court appearance. I absolutely recommend Jami Fosgate as she is the best in town.
Jami was truly a life-saver in the very challenging and exhausting divorce process. We went through a very amicable divorce but felt it would be best to have someone help us with the paperwork so as not to make any mistakes. We had agreed on all division of assets and support therefore I didn't want to spend an exorbitant amount of money on a lawyer. After our initial meeting we had very little we needed to do in person, we were sent forms via email with detailed instructions on how to fill in what was needed and she did the rest--she even has someone take them to the courthouse for you. It was totally worth the affordable fee (very affordable compared to other document prep service lawyers in the LA area). I hope you don't need her services but if you do, I can't recommend her highly enough!
I needed help with mediation when my husband and I decided to divorce. Jami was recommended through an employee assistance program where I work, and she was also recommended by an acquaintance. After my first meeting with Jami, I felt confident that she was the best person to help me during this process, and I wasn’t disappointed. Jami is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, patient, and she always answered my questions thoroughly and quickly. There is so much paperwork to be filed in a divorce, and Jami’s expertise helped me wade through all of that. I can’t recommend her highly enough.
I had a post-divorce problem that I needed help with. After 5 years of paying spousal, my ex claimed that I owed additional spousal support. I contacted Jami after reading the reviews on this site and I was not disappointed. She was helpful, knowledgeable, and handled all communications with the opposing attorney on my behalf. In the end a deal was worked out which was the best I was going to get and Jami let me know exactly where I stood. I should add that I was upset by the entire dispute and completely stressed out since I was also in the process of buying a house. Jami ignored my emotional rants and (occasional) expletives, took nothing personally, and brought me back to the matter at hand. I am certain she would handle any family law matter with the same professionalism and integrity. While she did not handle my original divorce, I think she would do an excellent job, and her demeanor is perfect for a mediation. I highly recommend Jami Fosgate.
Jami Fosgate was incredibly helpful, compassionate, and diligent handling my divorce. After feeling overwhelmed attempting to file all my own paperwork, I went to Jami. My ex was continually changing the her mind regarding the settlement and things dragged on and on, but Jami remained steadfast, keeping me informed and abreast of every detail. In addition to her thorough work and constant professionalism, Jami always seemed respectful and understanding of the difficult nature of the situation. I always felt like she cared about what was best for me and my ex rather than trying to rush us to finish things so she could get onto other cases. A lawyer not consumed with making more money? It's true. Jami cares and works hard, a dream combination. Couldn't recommend her highly enough.
Jami Fosgate was absolutely wonderful; she is generous with her time, no-nonsense, reliable, very responsive and thorough. Her assistance, guidance and knowledge made my very sticky, very ugly child custody battle so much easier to deal with. And I prevailed, getting everything I hoped for. I can not recommend her highly enough.
I had interviewed a few divorce attorney's before I met Jami. I was hoping to end my marriage in a civil fashion and avoid any nasty court battles. I chose Jami because she was able to present the divorce process in the most clear way. She also had the most straight forward billing process. Other Attorney's seemed a bit nebulous about where the large retainer I paid would be used. Jami was able to walk me through all of the steps of the divorce. She always was sure to offer me the chance to file a document to keep costs in check. She kept me well informed and always responded quickly to my questions. She met with me on Saturdays and early in the morning during the week so that our meetings didn't affect my work schedule. She is an excellent mediator and very willing to help both sides come to an agreement. My Divorce included the custody of my small child and therefore was even more highly emotional. I think that hiring Jami was the smartest move I made in the last year. I would absolutely recommend her as an Attorney.
If you are looking for a Family Law Attorney that will treat your case as if it were their own, then look no further!!! Divorce is one of the worst things to go through in life. I had hired another Attorney and soon found out that they really specialized in issues with commercial property and did very little family law. I was soon feeling like I had made a mistake. So now my bad situation was even worse! I was really feeling some stress! So, I set out to find a second opinion. The company I work for has an employee assistance program and Jami Fosgate was recommended. I contacted Jami for a consultation and within 30 minutes I learned I needed her to represent me! Jami proved to be extremely knowledgeable, professional, caring, compassionate, detailed, fair and helped me to make the right decisions for my circumstances. Jami kept me informed by email and phone calls. She did everything in a timely manner! Even after my divorce was final, Jami provided me a list of items that are recommended to follow up on after a divorce. You will not find a better Family Law Attorney to help you with your specific needs!
