Jamaica Attorneys by C. Holness
At some point in most people's lives, they will need to seek the counsel of an attorney to help them resolve issues of a legal nature.

find out this information prior to deciding whether or not to hire him or her.
The pay structure needs to be feasible for the client based on his or her
means. Most fee structures fall into one

There very well might be but I found that the Jamaica Yellow pages offers the same thing and it is available in the public domain.
In fact, between the Kingston and the Rest Of Island search, I found nearly 1000 lawyer or lawyer offices listed!
