About Jamie
Jamie Gorton trained as an English major before turning to law. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in English from Saint Michael's College in 2010 and completed her Juris Doctor at Boston University School of Law in 2013. Those years on campus set the stage for an early career that mixed public service and private practice.
Her first legal posting listed in public records is an Assistant/Clerk role at the State of Vermont Office of Lawyer General in 2009. She spent the next years gaining courtroom-adjacent and practical experience. In 2011 she worked as an intern at the Middlesex County District Lawyer's Office, and in 2012 she served as a law clerk at Moura & Moura LLC. By 2013 she was listed as lead lawyer at the Law Offices of Jamie Gorton, an early step into private practice management.
Gorton maintains ties to several professional organizations that map onto her professional interests. She has been a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association's New England chapter since 2012. She also belongs to the American Bar Association and the Massachusetts Lesbian and Gay Bar Association, both memberships beginning in 2012, and she joined the Boston Bar Association in 2015. These affiliations reflect ongoing engagement with peer networks and continuing legal education.
Colleagues describe her trajectory as steady and practical. She moved from internships and clerking roles into a firm leadership role soon after finishing law school, then established her practice under the name Gorton Law LLC. Records show she practices in Massachusetts, where she has built a client-oriented office in a competitive legal market.
Her work history shows a blend of government and private sector exposure. Time spent in a county district lawyer's office and a state legal office gave her early exposure to public-sector practice. Subsequent private-sector roles—first clerking at Moura & Moura LLC and then leading her own office—added litigation and case-management experience.
Throughout her career she has continued formal connections to regional and national bar groups. Those memberships indicate ongoing interest in immigration law and legal issues facing LGBTQ communities, and they provide a vehicle for staying current on changes in statutes and court decisions.
She currently practices at Gorton Law LLC, handling immigration matters and related legal issues reflected in her bar association memberships.
