DT Amajoyi’s legal strategies draw upon her vast global experiences to successfully develop and position winning motions both on paper and in oral argument.

DT utilizes her broad – but finely tuned – litigation skills to set the table for the successful defense of clients in a wide range of product liability and toxic tort matters, as well as business litigation.

She also interned for the Republic of Uganda Judiciary: Anti-Corruption Court, leading plea-bargaining sessions for inmates in Ugandan prisons, and worked with refugees and asylum seekers in Washington, D.C., in the wake of the travel ban.
