Imani M. Williams always knew she wanted to be an attorney and bring meaningful change to the community and for her clients.
Her path to personal injury plaintiff work began at Southern University and A & M College in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where she studied Journalism and graduated with Honors a semester early. After earning her Juris Doctor from Southern University Law Center and passing the Louisiana Bar, the West Palm Beach native returned home to help care for her father.
Watching her father struggle with Parkinson’s Disease fueled her passion for advocating for those who are injured and fighting for those without a voice. She passed the Florida Bar in 2020 and joined the West Palm Beach Office of Lesser, Lesser, Landy & Smith, PLLC in August 2023.
Imani currently serves as a 15th Circuit Representative on The Florida Bar Young Lawyers Division Board of Governors, is a member of the National Coalition of 100 Black Women South Palm Beach County Chapter and an ambassador of Speak Up for Kids Palm Beach County.
