Attorney Tiffany M. Simmons,
an HBCU graduate of Florida
A&M University, has been a
criminal defense litigator and at-
torney for the past 15 years and
has been undefeated in civil and
criminal defense cases. Based in
Atlanta, her firm, Simmons Law

a $160 million verdict in 2022
against a large music company
for the wrongful death of two of
her clients at a music venue.
She was recently honored by
the National Black Lawyers with
the “Top 40 Under 40” award
for 2024 and is also a main

In her efforts to also put the
spotlight on other Black lawyers
and judges, Tiffany is seeking
nationwide partnerships for “The
Lawyer in Me” Selfie Museum, a
pop-up exhibit that she has creat-
ed with the intention of bringing it
to other cities across the country.
This innovative museum concept
aims to redefine the practice of
law with greater representation of
Black women in the legal industry.
The Lawyer in Me Selfie
Museum offers unique Insta-
gram-worthy walls, fun activi-
ties, and immersive experiences.
Visitors can explore the roles of
lawyers, visualize a courtroom,
and participate in the interac-
tive “Escape the Jail” challenge.
This creative space celebrates all
things law!
Tiffany comments, “Our brand
aims to increase the percentage of
Black female lawyers from 1.78%
to 5% by 2025. Join us in celebrat-
ing and empowering the next gen-
eration of Black women in law in
a new and innovative way.”
To make this experience acces-
sible to all, Simmons is seeking
partnerships with city officials,
colleges, public school districts,
and community leaders to bring
the museum to various locations.
Even law firms with pipeline ini-
tiatives and non-profits focusing
on the empowerment of Black
female youth are encouraged to
reach out.

exhibit could be set up in your
