Destiny is the founder and lead attorney at Solid Ground Law (SGL), a holistic and client- centered criminal defense and family law firm based in Washington, D.C. SGL was built on the belief that justice begins with understanding. Destiny and her team are dedicated to amplifying the voices of individuals impacted by the criminal and family legal systems, crafting tailored solutions for each client’s unique circumstances, and providing a clear path forward.
Destiny’s journey to founding Solid Ground Law is rooted in a lifelong commitment to advocacy and social justice. Her career began in West Palm Beach, Florida, where she worked as an Assistant Public Defender, representing hundreds of clients—both children and adults—accused of crimes. This early experience cemented her dedication to standing beside individuals in their most vulnerable moments.
Prior to founding SGL, she served as Policy Counsel at DC Justice Lab where she spearheaded community-led policy campaigns to reform D.C.’s criminal legal system. She worked alongside directly impacted individuals, amplifying their voices and encouraging advocacy for meaningful, systemic change. Her work at DC Justice Lab focused on creating safer, more equitable communities through solutions that extend beyond traditional reliance on police and prisons.
Destiny also served as the Co-Executive Director of the Second Look Project, a legal services organization dedicated to combating extreme sentences through litigation. There, Destiny played a pivotal role in defending and preserving IRAA, securing the release of 15 men through pro bono work, and mentoring the next generation of legal advocates. Destiny’s work as a second look advocate is featured in FAMM’s award-winning documentary, District of Second Chances.
Destiny also shares her expertise by teaching at American University and coaching award-winning mock trial teams. Her team recently won the Estrella Mock Trial Advocacy Competition in Puerto Rico.
