A first-generation Haitian American, he has dedicated his life to the practice of law. He graduated his high honors from St. Lucie West Centennial High School in 2009 where he had the privilege of being part of the school’s Criminal Justice Academy, serving as an advocate for the 19th Judicial Circuit’s Teen Court program.
After graduation from Centennial, Jamy earned his B.S. in Legal Studies from the University of Central Florida, earning his degree on a full-time basis while working full time at Universal Studios Orlando.

In 2021, he graduated with his LL.M. in taxation with a concentration in estate planning from Boston University School of Law to further his mission.
In his free time, he is an adjunct professor of business law at Southern New Hampshire University and continues to expand his knowledge of how to best serve his community.

Mr Barreau is a fine man and an excellent attorney. He exceeded both mine and my mothers expectations. He is professional and caring, he went as far as to bring himself and his team to my elderly mothers home to make the legal process easy on her. I would refer anyone that needs legal help to him.
It was a privilege to be of service! Thank you for this thoughtful review!
