Jamie Lynn Hunter

Jamie was court appointed for a Post Conviction Relief, for which I was incarcerated, on a criminal case in March of 2019. I needed a forensic analysis done on the police video. She indicated that she would do this, and I trusted her. My trial was scheduled for 2/19/ 20. I wrote her a letter in N...ovember or December of 2019 to inquire about the progress she had made on the video analysis, and to ask some other minor questions related to my case since my trial was approaching. Jamie did not respond. In February of 2020 I sent the same letter to Jamie as my trial was quickly approaching. I finally received my response by way of a scheduled attorney call at the prison five days prior to my hearing. Five days before my hearing, Jamie informed me that she was filing for a continuance and a motion to withdraw because she had a baby in January. She had my case for nearly one year and never once informed me that she would not be able to represent me, despite being fully aware of her pregnancy. She waited until the 11th hour to tell me that, because she had a baby the previous month, she would not be able to represent me. I was in prison and trusted her to do the necessary things for my case. I regret that. COVID-19 caused the courts to shut down immediately following the untimely notice of her actions.
