Jamie has nearly 20 years of real courtroom experience, starting out as an Assistant District Attorney in Nassau County, New York, where she conducted numerous trials, hearings and grand jury presentments for diverse criminal matters.

During her tenure as a prosecutor, she handled criminal cases from investigation through trial verdicts. Her experience includes preparing children, the elderly and infirm, and hostile witnesses for difficult and traumatic trial testimony. She has utilized all forms of evidence, both physical and scientific, during the course of her many trials.
