Jackie Kammerman

Jackie Kammerman is listed as a partner of Pachuta & Kammerman, PLLC in Fairfax, Virginia, and her legal background centers on immigration. The firm uses the name Jackie Bliss Kammerman; California’s attorney register identifies her as Jacquelyn Denise Bliss Kammerman at the same Fairfax firm.

Detention-related work was part of her time at the Capital Area Immigrants’ Rights Coalition in Washington, D.C., where she worked between 2003 and 2009. She represented immigrants facing removal and mentored volunteer attorneys representing detained immigrants. Visits to detention centers in Virginia and Maryland were another part of that work: she gave Know Your Rights presentations there. Her years at the coalition included a Baker & McKenzie Equal Justice Works Fellowship from 2007 to 2009.

An associate position at Montagut & Sobral P.C. followed, with Kammerman practicing immigration law there from 2009 until 2014. Her firm biography highlights removal defense and the immigration consequences of criminal convictions. Beyond those matters, it lists conference teaching for the American Immigration Lawyers Association and local bar associations. She earned her undergraduate degree at the University of California at Berkeley and her J.D. at American University’s Washington College of Law.

The firm describes Kammerman as a member of the Maryland and California bars. California’s register records her admission on December 11, 2007, but lists her license there as inactive, effective January 10, 2019.
