About Muneer
Biography
DEFENDING THE PEOPLE. FIGHTING THE STATE.
A Criminal Defense Attorney Who Believes in You, is a Criminal Defense Attorney Who Will Fight For You.
Muneer Awad started his legal career in Oklahoma where he answered his life’s calling to defend the people, and fight the State. He successfully filed a lawsuit there to block the implementation of a constitutional amendment that would have discriminated against people of faith, jeopardized the rights of parents and their adopted children, and nullified all international business contracts.
After his success in Oklahoma, Muneer worked in New York, NY and Augusta, GA where he fought against abusive policing and prosecutions, and defended people trapped in the criminal court system. He has an impressive track record defending against serious felonies including murder, rape, and child molestations. He also had the benefit of working at the Public Defenders Office where he handled every type of criminal case at every phase of the criminal court process.
Muneer has worked throughout the State of Georgia and is honored to call Marietta his childhood hometown, and the city where he received his greatest honor—Marietta High School Blue Devils Coaches’ Award for Offensive Player of the Year in 2001. However, Muneer will be the first person to tell you that the relationships he has built with other attorneys or judges comes second to the relationship he builds with his clients. Despite numerous awards and recognitions for his courage in taking the fight to the State, his greatest award is the satisfaction of his clients.
