I am extremely grateful for the job that Jamie and her team did in getting a successful outcome for my case. Because of her experience and expertise Jamie was able to allow me the ability to return back to Canada and have the opportunity to see family I have not seen in years. While I 100% know the mistake I made was of my own doing, the law firm did not make feel horrible about it. They instead worked with me to make sure we had a successful outcome and also made it clear that I more importantly need to learn from this and moving forward make the right decision.
