His famous “selfie” with Georgia State University College of Law faculty can still be seen on many campus materials.

But he wasn’t just doing this for fun, as Ali had a much bigger plan in mind. “I started playing around with social media in middle school, back when MySpace was a thing” he said.

“Then when I started getting customers for my business in high school and college, I realized this would be a game-changer if I used social media as a lawyer.

“So I made sure to let people see the process of going through law school, becoming a published legal author, studying (and passing) the bar exam, and starting my career. I basically built a fan-base that cheered me on, and now many of them have become my clients.”

Born July 5th 1990, Ali Jamal Awad, Esq. better known as the CEO Lawyer is an attorney, entrepreneur and philanthropist.

He is the founding attorney of Ali Awad Law, P.C. After law school, He took a job working for $40,000 a year because he wanted to learn about personal injury.

In 2018 he settled over $3.2 million in his first full year of business. In 2019 Ali had his first million dollar month and by 2020 he successfully settled over $11 million in personal injury cases. Because of all the goodwill he had built on social media, Ali’s firm continues to grow even in the midst of a pandemic!

Ali credits much of his success to his incredible team.

“I have the best support staff and attorneys that come to work every day motivated to change lives. Even though I worked almost every single day of my life and thought there was no end in sight, I knew that with proper education, determination, and execution, something would eventually happen. We have no control over our upbringing and our childhood circumstances, but with faith and gratitude, even the unimaginable can become possible.”

Ali now has a media company dedicated to teaching attorneys and other professionals how to brand and market themselves on social media.

He believes most professionals need help with understanding and leveraging social media platforms and is now on a personal mission to change the way professionals use social media.
