Emejuru Law

This year brought some memorable moments for my boutique law firm. The first, (pictured above) is my law clerk and I in federal court, after a federal jury returned a late night award of $500,000 to my clients in employment discrimination and wrongful termination case. After ten years of practice, it’s never lost on me on just how difficult it can be to convince a jury to see things exclusively my way.  

The second is my firm’s 10 year anniversary. I started my shop at a Panera Bread in Virginia Beach, VA in 2014. I thought I’d give it a shot, after realizing how limited legal employment opportunities were during the 2008 financial crash and i knew I could bring a new perspective that I felt wasn’t there at the time. More importantly, I wanted to take a risk and bet on myself.

Thanks to those that have helped my shop grow along the way - especially Diane Marmelejo, Andrew Nyombi, and Jeanette Henry. Last, but certainly not least, my family for all of their support.
