Tawanna Morgan - Phoenix, AZ

Attorney Tawanna K. Morgan began her legal career in 2008 as an esteemed member of The Davis Bozeman Law Firm, PC, where she practiced criminal defense and personal injury for 8 years and was the firm’s Senior Associate. Attorney Morgan switched from a successful career in engineering to the field of law due to a passion for the community’s need for advocacy. It is Attorney Morgan’s belief that those persons who are often forgotten about because they live within the margins of society, whether due to their socio-economic status, race, gender, etc., deserve a level of representation which will make these same individuals visible to society. It is this belief that fuels the level of passion that Attorney Morgan has for her clients and allows for her to do more than represent… but to truly advocate on her clients’ behalf.

To this end, after receiving her Juris Doctorate from Georgia State University College of Law, Attorney Morgan later obtained a Master’s in Public Policy and founded MA’AT LAW_Practice of Tawanna Morgan LLC, a firm which seeks to establish Order in the midst of the social disorder created by criminal and civil legal systems by humanizing clients and insisting that clients receive Justice from these often unjust systems. Attorney Morgan has more recently obtained a Master’s in Criminal Justice with an emphasis in Public Administration, with the vision of extending legal services outside of the courtroom and into classrooms, with a desire of impacting the consciousness of criminal justice practitioners. To this end, Attorney Morgan is an adjunct professor at Clark Atlanta University and Georgia Gwinnett College.

Attorney Morgan strives to be, as described by Dr. Martin Luther King in his Feb. 4, 1968 sermon Drum Major Instinct, a “drum major for justice … and for righteousness (because) all of the other shallow things [do] not matter,” seeking “greatness,” in a manner not defined or designated by man, but by community as based on her service.
