Jami L. Prins

Jami Prins graduated from the University of Montana School of Law in 1984. Following law school, Jami was offered a Montana Supreme Court clerkship with Justice John Sheehy; however, because her husband, a USAF JAG, was transferred out of state, she chose to decline. Jami has traveled extensively throughout the country living and working in twelve different states.

After three military transfers in the first three years of her marriage, Jami realized that she would not follow a traditional legal career path. In turn, she began her own business working as an independent contractor, performing legal research and litigation preparation, writing appellate briefs and preparing other legal documents for large and small law firms in locations throughout the country. Jami’s research prowess enabled her to serve as Staff Instructor and Law School Accounts Representative with Mead Data Central (now LexisNexis) in Nebraska, Washington, DC, and Texas.

In other legal roles, Jami worked as a Contracts specialist at Qwest Communications, Sirius Computer Solutions, and SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment Corp. She also taught in numerous legal programs and was active as a Court-Appointed Special Advocate for over 25 years.

Following her divorce, Jami returned home to Montana in 2012; she has been employed with Jones & Cook Attorneys at Law (formerly the Law Office of Joan E. Cook) since 2013. Jami now specializes in Family Law, working hard to protect the best interests of children involved in difficult situations. She is a member of the State Bar of Montana, as well as a member of the Family Law and Veterans Law Sections. Jami is licensed to practice in Montana state and federal courts.
