TESTIMONIALS

Tireless advocate for underdog fathers

I retained Ms. Jamieson in March ‘19 to represent me in my second divorce. Mr. Hardy, senior partner, represented me in my first one, which was relatively civil in comparison (we utilized the collaborative law approach). I couldn’t afford him a second time around. Being the junior associate of a respected firm, with access to experienced partners, I felt having a woman represent my interests as a father was a good choice. From the start, I was the underdog. This marriage was volatile, and I had documented losses of temper where I yelled at my wife and stepkids, and there were some physical altercations but no violent abuse. I was not going to look good to a judge and knew it on day one of my initial consultation with Ms. Jamieson, so I gave the facts straight. My wife beat me to the punch retaining Ms. Deanna Whitley and filing her petition. I was playing catchup. My wife was a stay-at-home mom who never worked in her adult life. We had a child who hadn’t even turned one at the time we split. He was premature with high potential to be autistic like his brothers (my stepsons). A “medically fragile special needs child” as Ms. Whitley said nonstop. I had done a self-help prenup via the web before the marriage, and thought that would protect me. But Ms. Whitley wanted to invalidate it and get a disproportionate share of the money in retribution for my alleged abuse. My wife was trying to extort me for child support above Texas guideline all the way into adulthood, all the decision rights, and limiting my time with him. She was out for blood. Over a brutal 14 mo divorce, Ms. Jamieson pushed back in every possible way. She bought me time to let the bad behavior age into the past. She got a supervisor for my visits for a month as a witness to how I am with kids and then a custody evaluator that saw me as a good dad. She went to bat on the prenup, but we couldn’t put its validity to bed via summary judgement. The stress of setbacks, delays, and my wife’s repeated court order violations got to me, and there were times I lashed out at Ms. Jamieson. She bore through it like a pro and still continued to back me. We finally got to mediation, and my wife asked an ungodly unreasonable settlement and walked when she didn’t get it, forcing us into litigation. And that is where I absolutely CANNOT recommend Ms. Jamieson enough. It was incredible to see her put on an airtight, ironclad presentation of my case, but then she also completely demolished my wife’s credibility, or any merit to what she wanted. By the 4th day, when the judge ruled, I had the prenup enforced, completely securing my property. I got a 50/50 schedule for my son from age 3-18. I got a joint say in decisions when my wife wanted to shut me out. And we limited her getting right of first refusal only until he turns school age. Yes, my wife got guideline child support, but not a penny more like she wanted. And that just means my son won’t suffer for her broke life choices. At first, that chafed me having to keep paying her after I lost so much money dragging things out. Especially because Ms Jamieson made the cases night and day in comparison. But as soon as I talked to her after the verdict, she set me at ease: what I got was worlds better than my settlement offer. I was better off for fighting. And that’s a big win. Ms. Jamieson’s hourly rate is a steal in terms of the quality and competence she offers. She’s brilliant, professional, compassionate, and has the ability to ruthlessly get the testimony she needs from witnesses. If you are a father looking for someone to stand up for you, Ms. Jamieson is your woman. Hands down. Much appreciation to her team of Kathy and Monica, as well, who prepared the ridiculous amount of communication and financial documentation I turned over into evidence. They are a highly effective team together. I am very grateful to have made the choice I did in this ugly, bloody ordeal.

I hired Harold after getting a recommendation from a local attorney. I live in Corpus Christi. Harold came down on several occasions to meet with me one on one. He is very thorough and very knowledgeable of the law. I would recommend him to anyone.

Harold helped me get through my divorce and he helped me protect the most valuable asset in my life, my child. Harold remembered every tiny detail possible in my case, and he was always beyond well-prepared every time we spoke...

Exceptional from beginning to end

We hired Mr. Zuftlacht because of a very difficult custody issue that arose after my divorce. He was extremely professional yet compassionate throughout the 20 months long custody battle. Not only was Mr. Zuflacht very professional and organized, his staff that assisted us throughout the entire process is top notch. I would consider Mr. Zuflacht as family law at its best.
