Legal Advice & Resources

As a client, you know your situation best. For your consultation, be prepared to tell the lawyer the facts about your circumstances and provide copies of documents relevant to your legal issues. This will help the lawyer determine what your legal options are.

Lawyers are trained in the law, the justice system and have practical experience from dealing with clients who may have been in similar situations to your own. However, each client carries a unique set of circumstances. You will probably feel uncertain and overwhelmed when faced with a legal issue. Step By Step Law aims to help you understand what to expect during your separation or divorce or other family law issue. We can help you breakdown the process in a way that is more manageable to navigate. 

Step By Step Plan Going Forward

You should leave your consultation knowing your options and what tasks lay ahead. However, if you and the lawyer determine that Step By Step Law is a good fit to serve you, a retainer agreement will be prepared. This agreement between client and lawyer sets out the responsibilities of the client and the lawyer going forward and what steps will be taken. Essentially, at the outset, we outline the parameters of what we are going to do so that you are aware of the expectations, costs and possible outcomes.

Step By Step Law was created with the idea of offering customized legal services for people to have more control over their legal cases. Our services are especially a good fit for people who can do some of the work on their own with a little guidance from a lawyer and who like flat rate and transparent billing. If this sounds like it’s right for you, please book a consultation online to get started.

Jamie is the most genuine person I have spoken to in this industry. From our first conversation on the phone, I felt like she understood me and truly listened. I finally had someone in my corner who could both guide me through this process as well as collaboratively consult with me on strategies, which has already immensely increased my confidence for a better outcome. Thanks so much for all your help and not just legal advice but moral support as well. You are a gem, Jamie!

My case had many difficulties and situations that were somewhat outside the normal scope, even within Family Law, and we were faced with a great deal of contention.  Ms. Fitzel maintained a high level of professionalism at all times and helped to ease the stress for me in many ways.  She was always compassionate and willing to listen to my thoughts and suggestions and explained all of her decisions and steps she was taking along the way.  I was never left in the dark and was allowed to have input, which was important to me, as I was the one who had to face the consequences of the outcome whether good or bad. It was reassuring to be granted a voice.  She researched extensively to make sure she didn't miss any angles that would benefit me and to have the points of law needed to back her arguments in court.  She was very focused and intent on keeping the arguments she used in court concise and using the points that would help us the most and the leaving out the ones that even if valid, would just bog down the case and create delays.  She was very cost conscious while providing exemplary service.  I honestly believe that I could not have gotten a better outcome for the final ruling in my matter.  Ms. Fitzel is dedicated and cares.  I highly recommend Ms. Fitzel for any legal matter.
I would gladly give my name to this review but due to the contentious nature of the case, feel that I need to remain anonymous for personal safety reasons.  Please do not give the review less value or consideration due to the anonymity.

My experience with Jamie was excellent. Jamie gave me very good advise and information with a case I was already involved with. I have a few video appointments with Jamie and it worked out just as well as in person. Jamie has the knowledge and the passion for her profession as a lawyer. She also really cares and it shows. Jamie offers different affordable packages and is creative in making things work for whats best for you. Jamie has very good communication skills. She listens to her clients and has compassion. I would not hesitate to hire Jamie again if needed.

As far as professionalism goes, Jamie is very helpful and patient with the process, having the clients best interest at heart. Her work is very efficient/detail orientated and is quick to stay on top of things to ensure the process is as smooth And least stressful for the client as possible, as court/legal battles can be quite hard on the mind. I was in quite a legal mess that had to be undone, and although the process wasn’t short or easy. Jamie helped me to achieve what i was hoping and did all she could to help get custody of my kid back. She Went above and beyond what the average Lawyer would and she tells it how it is. Highly recommend!
