His practice includes commercial litigation, construction law, consumer defense, and personal injury defense. He regularly appears in both state and federal courts throughout Pennsylvania, including the Middle and Eastern Districts, and has represented clients in arbitrations involving multi-million dollar claims.

What Clients Can Expect
Raised on a working farm in Northeast Pennsylvania, Jayme learned early the value of hard work, grit, and getting the job done right. He brings that same blue-collar mentality to his legal practice—rolling up his sleeves, showing up prepared, and tackling every challenge head-on.
Clients appreciate Jayme’s straightforward communication, sound judgment, and relentless work ethic. He understands legal disputes are about real-world stakes and approaches each matter with focus and determination, respecting his clients’ time and objectives.
Beyond his legal practice, Jayme co-chairs Buchanan’s A.S.C.E.N.D. Affinity Group, which promotes the success of first-generation students and professions within the firm and beyond. He is passionate about mentorship, leadership, and creating pathways for others who, like him, are first in their families to navigate higher education and the legal profession.
Outside the Office
Outside the office, Jayme spends most of this time with his wife and three kids—usually at local parks or working on home improvement projects. He’s an avid golfer and home cook who appreciates any chance to get outside or work with his hands. A dedicated Philadelphia sports fan, Jayme regularly makes his way down Broad Street for a tailgate, a game, or a concert. He is a loyal supporter of the two-time Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles.
