Our Story

The name "Nia" means "purpose" in Swahili, a guiding force in my legal practice. This purpose led me to become a lawyer: to serve and empower my community.

Too many people face difficult legal situations without clear guidance, trusted support, or affordable quality help. The Nia Law Firm was founded to change that—making legal assistance accessible, trustworthy, and effective so clients can navigate challenges with confidence.

Grounded in the spirit of Nia, I am dedicated to serving the community—helping clients realize their goals in home and business ownership and protecting those investments through thoughtful, proactive planning. This mission drives my work every day, ensuring justice, empowerment, and opportunity are within reach for those I serve.

About Me

I hold a Juris Doctor and Master of Business Administration from Howard University.​

 

Through over a decade in roles as Senior Counsel, Principal Attorney, Contracts Advisor, and Lead Global Contracts Analyst, I’ve built deep expertise in drafting and negotiating contracts, estate planning, real estate transactions, and business formation—the core services at The Nia Law Firm.​

 

This hands-on experience lets me deliver clear, practical guidance that truly protects your interests, minimizes risks, and helps you move forward with real confidence.
