Steinwinder & Ratliff - Montgomery, Alabama

Nic O.

We had a very unusual and difficult case that we needed help with. Everyone told us that the chances of having our petition granted were pretty much nonexistent. It was a long, drawn out process that seemed to constantly get worse. We felt defeated. Our emotions made us hard to work with. We live in California and dealing with the different laws and rules between them and Alabama was confusing and stressful. However, Jamie never gave up on us, and believe me, if you knew what we, and this case put her through, you wouldn’t blame her for a second if she did. Her and Sherry did their best to help us remain calm and positive. In the end, our petition was granted. Absolutely everyone who knows the details of this case told us without having such an amazing lawyer we would have never obtained the same outcome. It’s been almost 9 months since the final hearing and we still can’t believe things worked out.

Recently, we were having some issues with filing some documents here in California. For over 2 months, and a few grand paid to 2 different people to help us, neither did anything but make it worse. I didn’t want to reach out to Jamie or Sherry because they’ve already done so much for us and certainly don’t owe us anything. But I was starting to feel desperate again so I asked Jamie a few questions and with her response I was able to get what I needed accomplished myself that day. She’s still solving my problems from across the country!!

If you find yourself needing legal representation, Jamie is, without a doubt, the right choice. Her and Sherry are stuck hearing updates from us for life!

The True Guardian of Justice!!!!

I cannot express enough how eternally grateful I am to Jamie Ratliff. She is truly a miracle worker, and there is no one else I would have wanted fighting by my side during the most crucial battle of my life — gaining full custody of my children.

For years, I endured false accusations from my children's mother that painted me as something I was not. Despite my every effort to prove my innocence and be the father my kids deserve, I was met with roadblock after roadblock. I felt like the system was against me — until I met Jamie Ratliff.

From our very first conversation, I knew Jamie was the fighter I needed. She listened intently, thoroughly reviewed the years of complexities in my case, and gave me a clear, strategic path forward. Her passion for justice is undeniable. Every step of the way, she demonstrated unwavering dedication, expert knowledge, and the kind of tireless work ethic that only the best of the best possess.

Jamie fought tooth and nail in court, cutting through the lies and distortions with her brilliant legal mind. She exposed the truth in ways that no one else had ever managed to do before. Her attention to detail and ability to piece together a compelling case left the opposing side scrambling. She didn’t just defend me — she empowered me to finally reclaim my role as the father my children desperately needed. Jamie made it clear that she wasn’t just fighting for me — she was fighting for my kids' future.

The outcome? Full custody. I’m not just a dad anymore — I am the dad with full custody of my children, able to raise them in a safe, loving, and supportive environment. This victory is more than I could have ever hoped for, and it would not have been possible without Jamie.

If you’re looking for an attorney who is relentless, compassionate, and willing to go to the ends of the earth to fight for your rights, Jamie Ratliff is your only option. She is the absolute best of the best, and she restored not just my faith in the legal system, but my future as a father.

Thank you, Jamie, for giving me my life back. My children and I will forever be in your debt. Highly, highly recommend!

Jamie has been mine and my husband’s attorney for over two years. In this time we have been to court 3+ times over custody of his middle child. Each time we have gotten more than we had before! She has listened to our concerns, worked with us and tried to work with opposing counsel for settlements, was honest about her thoughts and concerns with us, and fought hard for what was best for the child. In the end, she succeeded. We couldn’t be happier with the end result and that this battle is over. We are thankful to have her in our corner!

She also was our attorney when I adopted my husband’s oldest daughter. It was a seamless process and she provided us with all the details and made it so simple for us! It was a beautiful day and I’m glad she was the one we shared it with!

I definitely recommend her for all your family law needs!

Jamie Ratliff has been my attorney for 7 1/2 years. She is always caring and compassionate with EVERY single encounter we have. She is unlike any attorney I have ever dealt with-She actually has a heart and she puts her whole self into her cases. Jamie has been there for me through some VERY rough times and has been my stronghold, when I couldn't be. I would recommend Jamie Ratliff to anyone who needs an attorney!

I was a client of Jamie’s and I can honestly say that she is the best lawyer out there. Her detail to attention and such selfless acts showed her willingness to do whatever it took to make me feel top priority. If you need someone who will listen, who understands what life throughs at you, and who will fight tooth and nail for you, then Jamie is who you need.

Both Jamie and Katie are diligent, compassionate and well-versed in family law. Any case can be filled with anxiety and uncertainty but I can confidently say that they have a niche for understanding all aspects of the law and how it pertains to each case. They are trustworthy, caring and knowledgeable which is of utmost importance when facing decisions to be made in the family court system.
