Jacy works with her father, Steven Thayer.  She primarily handles cases in Clark County, Battle Ground, Camas/Washougal, and Skamania County.  While mainly focusing on misdemeanor cases, including DUI and domestic assaults, Jacy also works closely with her father on felony cases.  As a team, they have tried and obtained acquittals in both misdemeanor and felony cases.

As a practitioner, Jacy aims to give peace of mind to all of her clients from the moment they walk into her office until their case is resolved.  She prides herself on being attentive, responsive and compassionate.  In 2015, she received a “Client’s Choice” award from Avvo.com for her numerous positive client reviews.

In addition to her practice, Jacy is actively involved in the legal community.  She is a founding member and current treasurer of the Criminal Defense Attorneys of Clark County (CDACC).  She has served as a board member for the Young Lawyers Section of the Clark County Bar Association.  She is also a member of the Clark County Bar, Washington Association of Criminal Defense Attorneys, and Inns of Court.
