Jamie Hoxie Solano

Partner

Jamie Solano is a former federal prosecutor who represents her clients with tenacity.  Based in New Jersey and New York, Jamie has appeared in courts across the country on behalf of individuals and corporations in some of their most sensitive, important fights. 

Throughout the course of her career, Jamie has represented both plaintiffs and defendants and has worked on a variety of criminal and civil disputes from internal investigations through appeals. She has experience with matters involving a wide range of securities violations, wire and mail fraud, health care fraud and kickbacks, business email compromises, obstruction, computer intrusions, ransomware, SIM-swaps, insider trading, international money laundering, website spoofing and phishing scams, access-device fraud, Bank Secrecy Act violations, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) violations, cryptocurrency-related fraud schemes, tax violations, domestic and counterterrorism issues, export control and sanctions violations, labor trafficking, sex crimes, immigration and reentry violations, violent crimes, international narcotics trafficking, civil rights and other constitutional violations, claims under the Antiterrorism Act, breach of contract claims, corporate governance disputes, and numerous tort claims brought under the Federal Tort Claims Act. She has extensive experience with cross-border issues including extradition, MLATs, and other matters unique to foreign-based evidence. 

Jamie has tried numerous cases to verdict in both civil and criminal cases and has argued countless contested hearings in courts nationwide.  She has brought civil rights claims on behalf of plaintiffs that have resulted in significant awards for her clients. She has defended criminal charges through trial in cases involving wire fraud, money laundering, FPCA, securities fraud, and health care fraud. Jamie has written several federal appellate briefs and successfully argued a novel issue of first impression before the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. She has successfully helped clients navigate criminal investigations that started off with nasty threats from the government but ultimately never materialized into criminal action against the clients. She has obtained rare results, including convincing the government to drop indicted charges, convincing judges to rule in the client’s favor when odds were against them, convincing jurors to award damages for an unpopular client, and convincing jurors to acquit a defendant of charges.

While in the government, Jamie charged several notable cases, including wire fraud and securities violation charges arising from an alleged cryptocurrency mining shares pyramid scheme estimated to have taken over $2 billion of cryptocurrency from victims, along with unlicensed money transmitting charges against a CEO alleged to have run a business through a series of legal entities registered in the United States and abroad that offered banking services and cryptocurrency liquidation.  Jamie’s cases often involved international actors, including an indictment against seven foreign nationals in South Africa alleged to have engaged in wide-scale fraud and money laundering on behalf of an African organized crime syndicate. Jamie has traveled internationally on behalf of the United States to meet with, and present to, high-ranking foreign law enforcement and government representatives in connection with her investigations. Jamie also tried one of the first cases nationwide arising from the FBI’s takedown of a darkweb child pornography website that relied on evidence obtained from the FBI’s network investigative technique (NIT). 

Jamie clerked for the Honorable John H. McBryde in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. She served in the U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Division where she was hired through the Attorney General’s Honors Program and served as a criminal Assistant U.S. Attorney for both the Northern District of Texas and the District of New Jersey. Jamie has worked in units specializing in Cybercrime, National Security, Narcotics, and Violent Crimes.  While serving as an Assistant U.S. Attorney, Jamie held many titles, including Senior Trial Counsel, the Criminal Training Coordinator, Summer Intern Coordinator, and the Cyber-Liaison to the Health Care Fraud and Opioid Units. Jamie also served as the District of New Jersey’s Digital Asset Coordinator, where she was responsible for training and coordinating emerging issues involving digital assets. In the private sector before joining Dynamis, Jamie worked for two global law firms and a litigation boutique. 

Jamie is active in the New Jersey legal community and speaks often on trial-related topics, internal investigations and criminal procedure, and issues involving digital assets and technology.  She is an adjunct professor at Seton Hall Law School, where she teaches Persuasion and Advocacy.
