A Spotlight on Black Lawyers and Judges

New Pop-up Museum to Celebrate Other Lawyers and Judges of Color

Attorney Tiffany M. Simmons


Attorney Tiffany M. Simmons, an HBCU graduate of Florida A&M University, has been a criminal defense litigator and attorney for the past 15 years and has been undefeated in civil and criminal defense cases. Based in Atlanta, her firm, Simmons Law LLC, is best known for winning 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 cast member in the Street Legal South series that can be streamed on Tubi.


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 created 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 Instagram-worthy walls, fun activities, and immersive experiences. Visitors can explore the roles of lawyers, visualize a courtroom, and participate in the interactive “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 celebrating and empowering the next generation of Black women in law in a new and innovative way.”


To make this experience accessible 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 initiatives and non-profits focusing on the empowerment of Black female youth are encouraged to reach out.
