Who this is for
This page is for you if any of these sound familiar:
- You are buying or selling property in Jamaica and the numbers are too large for guesswork.
- A family estate has sat unadministered for years and nobody will move it.
- There is a problem with a title: no title, a name that was never changed or land held informally for decades.
- You live abroad and need someone on the ground you can actually reach.
- A deadline is running, and every month of delay costs money or position.
If you are collecting quotes to find the cheapest lawyer, this will not be the right fit, and that is fine. Premium representation is for people who weigh cost against consequence.
What premium representation includes
A named attorney
Not a rotating cast. You know who is handling your matter and how to reach her.
Advice at the first sitting
Your strategy consultation is a working session. You leave with a view on your position, your options and the risks.
A written plan
After the consultation you receive your next steps and fee estimate in writing, so nothing rests on memory.
Fees agreed before work begins
Fixed or capped where the scope of the matter allows it.
Your own client portal
Follow documents, invoices and progress online at any hour, from any country.
Trust-account protection
Money held for your matter sits in a dedicated clients’ trust account, separate from the firm’s funds, as the regulations require.

The offer
The strategy consultation
Every engagement begins with a 60-minute consultation, in office or on Zoom or Teams. The fee depends on your matter type and is shown before you book. It is real legal work: your documents are reviewed, your questions are answered and you get advice on your actual situation.
Within two business days you receive a written summary: where you stand, what we recommend and what it will cost. If you instruct us on the fixed fee divorce, the consultation fee is included in the fixed fee.
Book your strategy consultationObjections, answered
“Lawyers never tell you the real cost.”
We do, in writing, before you commit. That is a standing commitment, not a promotion.
“I am overseas. How would this even work?”
Most of our diaspora clients never set foot in Jamaica during their matter. Video consultations, secure document exchange, guidance on notarisation and apostilles where you live, and online payment.
“I had a lawyer before and could never get an update.”
This is the most common complaint we hear, and the client portal exists because of it. You see your matter’s progress yourself, and we send updates at every milestone.
“How do I know the firm is legitimate?”
T. A. Whyte, LL.B (Hons), is an Attorney-at-Law admitted to practise in Jamaica. The office is at Unit 5-60 Windsor Road, St Ann’s Bay, and you are welcome to visit. Client funds are held on trust as the Legal Profession regulations require.
Why now
The firm deliberately limits how many new matters it takes on at once, so that every file receives attorney attention. When the current intake is full, new consultations book into the next available window.
And in property and estate matters, delay has a price. Deadlines lapse, interest and taxes accrue, other parties move first and witnesses become harder to find. The cheapest time to deal with your matter is almost always now.
Questions, answered plainly
What does the consultation cost?
The fee depends on the matter type and is displayed when you book. It is payable at the appointment for in-office sittings, or on booking for online sittings.
What should I bring?
Whatever you have: titles, agreements, letters, receipts, court papers. Incomplete is fine. Knowing what is missing is part of the advice.
How long will my matter take?
You get an honest timeline at the consultation, including the parts that sit with courts and government agencies rather than with us.
Can you act if my matter is contested?
The consultation is where we assess that. If the firm is not the right fit for a matter, we say so plainly.
How do I pay?
Card payments online, or bank transfer in JMD or USD. Full details are provided with your booking.
Who will actually handle my file?
The attorney you meet at the consultation.
