In addition to private practice, Jamie worked 11 years as a hearing officer with the Employment Security Commission and 6 years with the SC Department of Labor, Licensing, and Regulation.  After working at McIntosh, Sherard, Sullivan, and Brousseau law firm in Anderson, Jamie made his way to the probate court.

Jamie is committed to transparency, accountability, compassion, integrity, and would be honored to have your vote.
