MARIETTA, Ga. - March 27, 2018 - PRLog -- Muneer Awad is proud to announce the launch of the Awad Legal Team—a criminal defense law firm in Marietta, Georgia. Mr. Awad started his own practice after working under the leadership of Circuit Defender Katherine Mason at the Augusta Judicial Circuit Public Defender's Office and as an Associate Attorney at the Frye Law Group in Marietta, GA with local criminal defense attorney Kimberly Frye.

"I have been fortunate to work with some of the greatest attorneys across the nation and State during my career, and I look forward to joining their ranks while representing people in my hometown," Muneer Awad said.

Mr. Awad started his legal career with a landmark lawsuit in the State of Oklahoma in 2010 when his work focused on civil rights and discrimination in the workplace. After receiving national recognition for his work in Oklahoma, Mr. Awad moved to New York, where he focused on issues of discriminatory policing and the over-aggressive prosecutions in low-income communities.

"I have dedicated my entire career to fighting against the government's eagerness to target, arrest, and prosecute every day people," Mr. Awad said of his career. "I know that the people forced into traffic stops, interrogations, or arrests are fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, brothers, and sisters. These are people that deserve to be able to move on with their lives without the fear of being sent to prison or having a criminal record."

The Awad Legal Team will focus on criminal cases in Cobb County and neighboring metro-Atlanta neighborhoods as well as matters from the Augusta Judicial Circuit where Mr. Awad practiced criminal law for nearly 4 years, and where the offices of attorney James C. Walker are located. Mr. Walker is a long-time trial partner of Mr. Awad and he works as Of Counsel for the Awad Legal Team.

Mr. Awad is a member of the Georgia Bar Association, Cobb County Bar Association, National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, American Institute of Criminal Law Attorneys, and the National Trial Lawyers Top 40 Under 40.

Mr. Awad attended Marietta City Schools from kindergarten through his high school graduation, and he later attended the University of Georgia for his undergraduate studies and law school.

"I went to school here. I had my first job washing dishes and mopping floors here. I played Friday-night football here. This is my home and I'm proud to be here representing the people I know and love."
