Reviews for Jamie M.
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Jamie Trapp, was very straightforward. Did not make any promises and provided excellent legal representation. During the year that he represented me, Jamie Trapp never let a week go by without calling, if not with an update on my case, but to see how things were going with me. If I ever need an PI attorney again, I would not hesitate in contacting Jamie Trapp and Associates.
I was lucky to have Jamie as my Attorney when I was injured. He cared about my progress and well being and was very knowledgeable about everything. Jamie and his staff took a lot of the headaches away during a tough time and it enabled me to focus solely on healing after my accident. Jamie does not over promise and under-deliver and always met my expectations.

During labor, the doctor ordered Pitocin, which is a drug used to stimulate contractions in order to move the labor process along. Excessive amounts of Pitocin, administered contrary to the hospital's own policies, were administered by the nurses. It was alleged that the doctor failed to monitor the amount of Pitocin given to the mother. The baby was born brain damaged

doctor offered $12 million to settle the case. This money will be used to take care of the child
give her as full a life as possible under the circumstances.$10,000,000 — Misread ultrasound results in brain injury to newborn

emergency procedures needed to be undertaken. The radiologist misread the ultrasound noting it was normal. One of the infants was stillborn at birth
