About Jenna A.
Jenna A. Bamford entered law after completing an undergraduate degree at the University of Arizona in 2011. She went on to earn her J.D. from California Western School of Law in 2014. Her time in law school included hands-on roles that introduced her to public-interest work and specialized education law matters.
As a law clerk in 2013 with the San Diego Volunteer Lawyer Program's Education Law Project, Bamford worked on cases affecting students and families. The following year she served as a certified legal intern at the Dependency Legal Group, gaining direct experience in juvenile dependency proceedings. Those early roles exposed her to courtroom procedure and client advocacy in administrative and family-related settings.
After law school she joined Bickford Blado & Botros as an attorney in 2015. At the firm she has continued to handle matters in California courts. Her practice reflects the practical training she received during internships and clerkships, and she has kept an active presence in local legal circles in San Diego.
Bamford maintains current membership in the State Bar of California. She is also a member of the San Diego County Bar Association and the San Diego Family Law Bar Association. Those memberships indicate ongoing professional engagement and a network among practitioners who handle family and dependency issues in the region.
Colleagues describe her work as steady and detail-oriented. She has experience managing client consultations, preparing pleadings, and representing clients in hearings. Her background in education law and dependency matters informs how she approaches family law cases, particularly those that touch on children's needs and interactions with school systems.
Her career path shows a steady progression from volunteer and intern roles into full-time practice. She has remained in Southern California throughout. She continues to practice at Bickford Blado & Botros and handles matters arising under California law. Her current practice centers on family law and dependency-related matters in California courts.
