About Naomi Dennis

I\'ve known I wanted to be a criminal lawyer since I was 10 years old. I mapped out my life and committed to checking EVERY. SINGLE. BOX.(Seriously, I used to laminate my checklists.) Then.life happened. Nearly 8 years ago, my world was upended when my older sister, facing what would be a losing battle with breast cancer, asked me to care for her two children. Like many, parenthood informs so much of my worldview. In addition to teaching me to always be flexible, my children have challenged me to be the best version of myself. And perhaps most of all, my children are the number one reason I want to see justice prevail. Leveraging 13 years of experience as a litigator and veteran, I know how to examine and balance all sides of an issue and chart an effective path forward. I know the value of teamwork and how to empower those I work with to showcase their best selves. Both in and out of uniform, I know how to fight how to fight for right.for justice. When I first joined the Air Force JAG Corps, I was told \"Justice is job 1.\" JUSTICE - a term defined as \"just behavior or treatment.a concern for justice, peace, and genuine respect for people.\" That\'s Job 1.
