Powers

Born in Davao City, Philippines, Jamie sought to take after her grandfather, who practiced law in the Philippines. After moving to the United States, she embarked on a decade-long career in government, serving in various capacities within the California Legislature. Beginning as a Legislative Aide in the California Senate, she progressed to Legislative Director and ultimately Chief of Staff in the California State Assembly. Jamie then transitioned to nonprofit advocacy, holding leadership roles at the Child Abuse Prevention Center and Head Start California, where she championed policies supporting vulnerable children and families at both the state and federal levels. Her passion for advocacy led her to law school, where she graduated magna cum laude, earning multiple academic achievement awards. After law school, she dedicated her practice to mass tort litigation, representing hundreds of clients against corporate and government entities. She currently supports Clarkson Law Firm’s sexual assault and fertility negligence practices, leveraging her experience to hold institutions accountable and fight for survivors seeking justice.

Beyond her legal practice, Jamie is actively involved in the legal community and has received numerous recognitions, including The National Trial Lawyers "Top 40 Under 40 in Civil Litigation" (2023, 2024) and Super Lawyers® Rising Stars℠ (2024). She has presented at national legal seminars, including the American Association for Justice (AAJ) Winter and Summer Conventions and the National Trial Lawyers Summit, sharing insights on litigation strategies, ethics, and diversity in mass torts. Additionally, Jamie is an Adjunct Professor at Lincoln Law School, where she teaches Agency and Business Associations. She also serves on the boards of Women Lawyers of Sacramento, Public Justice, and AAJ's National College of Advocacy and is an active member of several legal associations, advocating for diversity, equity, and inclusion within the legal profession.

Jamie enjoys teaching and practicing yoga, indulging in Korean and Chinese dramas, traveling with her husband, and spending time with their dog.
