Jamar Q. Green is a trial-tested litigator and strategic advisor who brings relentless energy, creative problem-solving, and elite courtroom performance to every case. Whether defending Fortune 500 companies in high-stakes civil litigation or guiding mom-and-pops through their first lawsuit, Jamar is known for his precision, poise, and unshakable commitment to his client’s interests.

Clients describe him as “the lawyer you want in your corner” a tactician who sees angles others miss, and a tireless advocate who never stops pushing for the best possible outcome. His litigation portfolio spans commercial disputes, employment law, cyber/data privacy, professional liability, and general liability defense. He’s secured multimillion-dollar dismissals, neutralized seven-figure exposures, and consistently outmaneuvers opposing counsel through strategic motions, surgical cross-examinations, and airtight case posture.

Jamar’s legal acumen is forged from a rare blend of civilian and military experience, with clearance. As a Commander-select in the U.S. Navy Reserve JAG Corps, he has led legal operations across Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, advised on interagency coordination, and represented over 150 victims of sexual assault and domestic violence in federal court. His leadership earned him the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal and selection to file the VLC program’s first-ever U.S. Supreme Court amicus brief.

He is equally committed to mentorship and service, having trained Royal Saudi Naval Forces officers, led junior attorneys in litigation strategy, and contributed hundreds of unpaid hours to Navy unit readiness and legal support. His peers and clients alike recognize him as a kind-hearted professional with a shark’s instinct for advocacy, empathetic, but never outmaneuvered.

Jamar is a 2025 New York Metro Super Lawyers Rising Stars selectee, a ballroom dancer, and a proud dog dad to Luke and Lily.
