Jamy Barreau, Esq., LL.M

Raised in his hometown of Port St. Lucie, attorney Jamy Barreau is dedicated to helping individuals, families, and business owners plan with intention, resolve disputes thoughtfully, and preserve wealth across generations. His practice focuses on trusts and estates, probate and trust administration, business planning, and mediation, with a strong emphasis on clarity, efficiency, and long-term peace of mind.

Jamy is a Florida Supreme Court Certified Mediator, bringing a balanced, solution-oriented approach to civil disputes. His mediation practice is grounded in professionalism, neutrality, and a deep understanding of the legal and practical considerations that parties face when navigating conflict. Whether serving as counsel or a mediator, Jamy prioritizes respectful communication and meaningful resolution.

A first-generation Haitian American, Jamy’s commitment to the law is rooted in service, education, and community empowerment. He graduated with high honors from St. Lucie West Centennial High School in 2009, where he was a member of the Criminal Justice Academy and served as an advocate with the 19th Judicial Circuit’s Teen Court program.

Jamy earned his Bachelor of Science in Legal Studies from the University of Central Florida while working full-time at Universal Studios Orlando. He went on to attend Barry University School of Law, serving on the Law Review editorial board as a Research and Technical Editor. After earning his Juris Doctor in 2017, Jamy returned to the Treasure Coast, gaining experience in estate planning, probate and trust administration, business planning, residential mortgage foreclosures, and evictions.

Understanding the vital role that intentional planning and effective dispute resolution play in building stronger families and communities, Jamy founded Barreau Legal, PLLC to provide client-centered legal services grounded in trust and accessibility. To further advance his work in estate and tax planning, he earned his LL.M. in Taxation with a concentration in Estate Planning from Boston University School of Law in 2021.

In addition to his practice, Jamy is an active leader within the legal community. He serves in various bar and professional organizations, has been appointed as a Special Magistrate for the City of Fort Pierce, and regularly teaches and mentors future legal professionals as a professor.
