Every law practice has a founding philosophy, a reason for existing beyond the billable hour. JLA was established to make quality legal representation available, affordable, and accessible to every client who walks through our doors.
Founded by Joan Lewis, an attorney-at-law with a distinguished academic background in both Law and Accounting. The practice emerged from a conviction that navigating legal issues should never feel intimidating and exhausting. Too many Jamaicans, at home and in the diaspora, struggle to navigate complex legal systems without proper guidance, often being deprived of their rights through ignorance of the law, resulting in financial loss, missed opportunities, or protracted legal battles.

Sometimes legal disputes can be settled amicably. An Attorney-at-Law who is also a trained mediator can assist in negotiating a meaningful and mutually beneficial agreement / arrangement to end an acrimonious dispute. For example, mediation can be used to resolve landlord and tenant, family, and commercial disputes at a fraction of the cost that you would pay for litigation. Mediation can save you valuable time and money and reduce stress. Why not try to preserve relationships that really matter to you? The person you have a dispute with does not have to become an enemy. Let’s explore mediation, where possible.
