About Jumoke F
Jumoke F Oladapo earned an LL.M. from the University of Baltimore School of Law. The advanced law degree followed earlier legal study and positioned her for work that crosses procedural and substantive lines. She studied in Baltimore and remained connected to the region's courts and legal community as she moved into practice.
Her early legal experience included a judicial internship in 2009 at the Howard County Circuit Court. That placement exposed her to courtroom procedures, case management and the day-to-day work of judges and clerks. A year later she stepped into a leadership role at Ivylaw Law Office, LLC, becoming the firm’s managing lawyer in 2010. The title put her in charge of firm operations and client matters at a relatively early stage in her career.
She is admitted to practice in Maryland and New York. She also holds a Collaborative Practice Certification from Collaborative Professionals Inc., a credential that lawyers pursue when they work on negotiated, non-adversarial resolutions outside of traditional litigation. Her memberships include the Maryland State Bar, the Prince George’s County Bar, and the American Immigration Lawyers Association DC Chapter.
Membership in the DC chapter of the American Immigration Lawyers Association places her among practitioners who handle immigration matters, filings and client advocacy at local and federal levels. Her collaborative certification points to an interest in alternative dispute resolution and structured negotiation processes for resolving disputes. Those two elements — immigration-related membership and collaborative training — inform how she approaches certain client matters.
Her trajectory from a court internship to firm management suggests a blend of courtroom familiarity and private-practice administration. Managing a law office requires attention to legal detail and to business systems. Oladapo’s role at Ivylaw has involved both supervising casework and attending to the administrative burdens that come with running a firm.
Colleagues and clients see her as a practitioner who moves between procedural work and negotiated solutions. She keeps active in local bar organizations and in professional networks that relate to immigration law and collaborative practice. She is listed as the managing lawyer at Ivylaw Law Office, LLC and continues to practice under her Maryland and New York admissions, applying collaborative techniques and immigration law resources where appropriate.
Oladapo maintains her practice at Ivylaw Law Office, LLC, working under her Maryland and New York admissions and handling matters that draw on her collaborative certification and immigration law affiliations.
