My name is Messiah Williams, and it is a pleasure to join the DJC team as the Civil and Impact Litigation Paralegal. I look forward to doing great work with you all.  

I hold a strong passion for legal aid, grassroots litigation, and community organization. My specific interests lie in economic growth and sustainability through legal support, creating new legal precedent for future generations, and molding the current law to fit the direct needs and goals of our clients.

My educational background includes a B.A. in Social Relations and Public Policy from Michigan State University, a post-bachelor’s Paralegal Certification from Lansing Community College, and a Juris Doctor from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law.

My professional background includes family, housing, criminal, and federal advocacy support. My goal is to contribute to and continue advancing access to justice and fairness in litigation for all communities in the nonprofit sector alongside DJC.

My personal interests include playing tennis, spending time with my siblings, and catching up on the Marvel movies before Doctor Doom premieres.
