Briana Chante Jones, Paralegal

With a strong background as a paralegal, Briana Chante Jones assists the firm’s Business, Construction, Trial, Real Estate, and Power & Energy Construction groups.

Smart and collaboratively driven, many credit Briana as bringing a passion for perfection and a light sense of humor to the teams with whom she works. Her attention to detail and dependability allows the lawyers she assists to show up prepared and work in the best interest of the firm’s clients. Briana also enjoys pro bono work, including through The Legal Aid Society of the District of Columbia and through The Children’s Law Center Pro Bono.
