Nationwide — Kisha A. Brown, Esq., an award-winning civil rights attorney and speaker Kisha A. Brown, Esq., is the founder of Justis Connection, a Black-owned legaltech platform committed to connecting people with trusted Black lawyers across every legal practice area. As the fastest-growing national Black Lawyer Directory, Justis Connection is proud to announce its national expansion, with a bold mission: to build a powerful network of 1,000 Black lawyers ready to serve 1 million Black households across the United States.
Less than 5% of lawyers in America are Black, a figure that has remained stagnant for over two decades. Yet legal challenges — from protecting assets and fighting discrimination to starting businesses and navigating custody battles — require trusted, culturally attuned legal counsel. Justis Connection was created to bridge that gap.
“Legal protection is local. You can’t rely on a random search to find someone who truly understands your community, your culture, and your case. You need a local lawyer who’s invested in your outcomes, not just your billable hours,” said Kisha. “We’re building a pipeline of protection — a modern-day Green Book for justice — so that no matter where you are, there’s a trusted Black lawyer within reach.”
With founding members like Ben Crump and Billy Murphy Jr., Justis Connection represents a deep bench of legal firepower across all practice areas, including:
• Business Law (contracts, intellectual property, employment law)
• Estate Planning (wills, trusts, inheritance protection)
• Civil Rights & Criminal Defense
• Family Law (custody, divorce, support)
• Personal Injury (auto accidents, medical malpractice)
• Real Estate, Tax Law, Cannabis Law, and more
This expansion is made possible by strategic partnerships with more than a dozen Black-led organizations, including BuyBlack, CHIPS Network, the National Association of Black Cannabis Lawyers, ShoptheHood.TV, Black Men Network, Minority Cannabis Business Association, Black in HR, SistahBiz, Black Think Tank, Afros & Audio Festival, Black Church Food Security Network, the Association of Black Estate Planning Professionals, and others working to elevate Black wealth, safety, and self-determination.
“Being part of Justis Connection means I can be discovered by clients who need me most,” said Hasson Barnes, Esq., a family and business attorney based in Baltimore, Maryland.
With a user-friendly online platform, an interactive attorney directory, and an editorial blog powered by Black legal experts, Justis Connection is making it easier to find a Black lawyer near you.
