Tamsin from James and Jaramillo Solicitors recently represented my daughter in a traffic matter, and I was really impressed with the whole experience. She was professional, courteous, and made what could have been a stressful situation feel much more manageable. Tamsin explained everything clearly, kept us in the loop throughout the process, and handled the case with real care and attention. I felt confident having her in my daughter’s corner, and I was so grateful for her help. I would definitely recommend her and the firm to anyone needing legal assistance.

The last 6 months of back and forth with my husband of 35 years, negotiating an amicable financial settlement was the toughest time of my life and I am so grateful to have had Tom Seeney travel with me in the most proffessional and empathetic manner. I couldnt have done it without his patient yet firm guidance. We acheived what we setout in the end and I cant thank Tom enough. JJ Lawyers you guys are a God sent to the women in situations as myself. You give us hope and a new beggining in life Thankyou.

Jonathan was easy to deal with and he has a no-nonsense approach. At the end I didn't get the best possible outcome , unfortunately that can be up to the magistrate you get on the day. I would recommend his services if you are looking for a lawyer who is upfront and does not sugar coat things.

I recently had a chance to avail services from JnJ. I was lucky to have Jamie Carter representing me in the court. She is a thorough professional and listens to all the relevant points without a rush. She put facts n figures in highly professional way to magistrate and highlighted those points which were helpful in turning case decision in my favour. Although she is young but i must say she has tons of experience in handling the clients and providing professional lawyer services. Thanks Jamie Carter 🙂

My recent experience with

Jonathan got quick to work getting him released from custody/prison on supreme court bail as well as not long after getting his bail varied where he could have some normality back in h7
Is life. He took extreme care and passion in getting the best possible results as well as keeping us up to date on case and matter with utmost professionalism. He was sentenced yesterday and the result was unimaginable for the serious offence. He was charged and convicted with that being a 3 year Community Correction Order and removing all strict conditions. NO JAIL TIME

I would recommend Jonathan to all my family and friends if the need arises without hesitation.

I had the pleasure of being assisted by Jaime. She was highly responsive and very knowledgeable, never too busy to answer any questions I had. She drafted representations (an offer) which got accepted by the police.
Jaime advised me that the s14 had a high chance of being successful. I had the opportunity to read and check the s14 report before it was submitted. At the hearing, the magistrate did not raise any concerns and decided that s14 was appropriate given my circumstances.
I am impressed with how efficiently my matter was handled and would not hesitate to recommend Jaime.
