About Jamey
Biography
Jamey Dolowich’s entire career has been devoted to criminal defense work and the protection of his clients’ constitutional rights. He has handled thousands of cases in the misdemeanor, felony and drug courts, and he has been before every judge in the local criminal courts.
Jamey has strong ties to the local community. He was valedictorian of his graduating class at Pacific Grove High School where he played basketball and earned all-league honors. He went on to UC Berkeley where he earned his bachelor’s degree in Integrative Biology. While attending UC Berkeley he served as president of Pi Lambda Phi International Fraternity, an organization dedicated to the elimination of prejudice in our society and the principle that all men are created free and equal. Inspired by his experiences in Berkeley, Jamey came back home to attend Monterey College of Law where he studied criminal law and advocacy and graduated second overall in his class. He received the West Publishing Company Outstanding Academic Achievement Award. As a law student, Jamey clerked for a local established appellate practice where he was extensively trained in the art of legal research and writing. To complete his training in litigation, he interned at the Public Defender’s Office in Salinas.
Jamey spends his free time thinking about his cases. He lives in Monterey County with his wife and two children.

Exceptional representation!
I made a bad judgement call and thought that I could evade the police. It was at this moment in my life I had a huge wake-up call. A little late. Long story short I was very stressed out, I thought I was going to prison for a long time. I also had a pretty extensive criminal history that follows me f...
