Eniya’s passion for family law began prior to law school, while earning her bachelor’s degree from Baylor University. While there, she had the chance to speak with a local family law attorney who reframed her idea of practicing law. Since declaring as a young freshman that she would be a family law attorney, Eniya has devoted herself to the practice of family law.
Eniya is a graduate of Southern Methodist University Dedman School of Law where she excelled both academically and with her extracurricular activities including serving as Chief Counsel of SMU’s W.W. Caruth, Jr. Child Advocacy Clinic and serving on the executive board of Women-in-law and Black Law Student Association. She also volunteered with the Dallas Volunteer Attorneys Program, where she was a bridge of access to those who historically were unable to obtain an attorney.
Through all her education and varied experiences, Eniya has gained not only an appreciation but also an understanding of the complexities of family law. Eniya recognizes that her clients are going through difficult times and aims to be the consistency that they need during the process. She strives to help her clients resolve issues by focusing on practical solutions and client goals. Her overall objective is to help her clients reach the light at the end of the tunnel.
Eniya has been lucky to call Dallas home for most of her life. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her friends and family, and coaching her youth volleyball team.
