Jamie Perez has practiced family law since graduating from law school in 2010, beginning her career representing clients in high-asset and complex divorces for five years. She later moved into non-profit leadership, supervising legal services for survivors of intimate partner abuse at Atlanta Volunteer Lawyers Foundation (AVLF) before moving back into private family law litigation.
