About Jeremy M
Jeremy M Lackey earned his B.S. in political science from Rutgers University–New Brunswick in 2008 and went on to receive his J.D. from Rutgers School of Law–Camden in 2012. His path through New Jersey’s public legal institutions began soon after law school, shaped by a mix of courtroom work and government service. He is admitted to practice in New Jersey and before the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey.
His first post-law school role was as a law clerk in 2012 for The Honorable E. David Millard, J.S.C. That position put him inside a trial court’s decision-making process. He moved into prosecution the following year. In 2013 he joined the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office as an assistant prosecutor, handling matters that range from arraignments to trial preparation. Those years in the prosecutor’s office gave him regular courtroom experience and exposure to investigative work.
Lackey shifted into state-level legal work after his time in the county prosecutor’s office. In 2021 he served as a Deputy Lawyer General in the New Jersey Office of the Lawyer General. In that role he worked on legal matters for the state, advising agencies and participating in litigation on the government’s behalf. The job required balancing legal strategy with the practical needs of public clients. It also deepened his familiarity with the mechanics of state government litigation.
Outside of his public-sector appointments, Lackey has maintained ties to New Jersey’s legal community. He is a member of the Camden County Bar Association and the New Jersey State Bar Association, and his professional memberships date back to 2013. Those connections keep him engaged with local practice issues and procedural developments in the state courts.
He now practices at Lackey & Miller, LLC. His background — from clerking to prosecuting to serving in the Office of the Lawyer General — informs how he evaluates cases and advises clients. He brings courtroom experience and an understanding of government processes to his current work. His practice draws on his years in prosecution and government legal service and continues to center on litigation and related legal matters.
