I am writing to express my sincerest gratitude for Ms Har-Ching Chiang of James & Jaramillo Lawyers. I wholeheartedly recommend ‘Ching’ as a Family Lawyer.

She is the very first Lawyer I engaged in my life and I am thankful that I got her in my highly emotional, complex and life-changing case. Out of 3 law firms I attended, only Ching who took time to listen, provide legal perspective and able to provide hope.

My family law matter was very stressful but Ching was able to make the process feel less daunting. She handled my case with skill and professionalism whilst demonstrating genuine empathy and compassion and ensuring I was always informed and supported.

She was always responsive to my questions and concerns, providing timely updates and reassurance throughout the process. She explained my case in a clear and concise manner.

I am truly grateful for Ching’s support during a very challenging time. Her expertise has truly made a big difference in advocating for my best interest. I highly recommend Ching’s services to anyone seeking a skilled and compassionate Family Lawyer.

James & Jaramillo

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to James & Jaramillo for their outstanding legal representation and support in my recent matter. Their professionalism, clear communication, and attention to detail were evident from the outset. On 29 April 2025, they appeared before Her Honour Magistrate Moody at the Downing Centre Local Court, and the matter was successfully resolved.

A special thanks to Tom, who handled our case with confidence, clarity, and ease. His expertise and calm approach provided great reassurance throughout the process. I am truly grateful for his dedication and support.

I highly recommend James & Jaramillo to anyone in need of experienced, reliable, and professional legal assistance.
Thank you so much
Kind regards

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.

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.

My recent experience with
Jonathan Jaramillio has been nothing but outstanding 👏 extremely professional and spectacular! My husband was charged with a very serious offence being GBH grievous bodily harm ! 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
Jonathan Handled The Case Like A KC Barrister His Performance Was Spectacular
I would recommend Jonathan to all my family and friends if the need arises without hesitation.

Once Again Jonathan Thank You Very Much For Getting My husband The Best Possible Result.

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.

After contacting several firms in Sydney, James & Jaramillo Lawyers stood out the most. Working with Jonathan was a smooth and well-guided experience regarding my traffic offence case. Everyone makes mistakes, and it's crucial to choose a firm where you feel genuinely comfortable to navigate such a stressful time in your life.

Jonathan did not fall short in providing reassurance and comfort throughout the entire process. We were thoroughly prepared before my hearing, and we achieved an outcome very close to our goal.

For anyone seeking a passionate and dedicated team, you're in the right place!
