Nuru, your law firm has been on a streak winning cases for clients and giving back to the community. Take us back a bit. Are you originally from the Dallas area and what sparked your interest to be a lawyer?
Nuru– I arrived at Paul Quinn College in Dallas, Texas right after high school. I have lived all over the country and seeing minorities were being treated unfairly in different cities directed my steps to becoming a lawyer and partnering with Kay Harper Williams.
SDM– In addition to leading your law firm, you are also a family man. You are married with kids also. How do you balance family life with being a busy lawyer?
Nuru– To balance family and work you must learn to say “no” and set boundaries.

Nuru– We are the #1 trusted law firm for serious injury and wrongful death cases.
SDM-! What do you attribute to your firm’s success and what separates you from other firms?
