Raymere Thomas – A Shining Example of a Rattler for Justice

ORLANDO, Fla. – When Raymere Thomas thinks about his family and his life back in Atlanta, the Florida A&M University (FAMU) College of Law student is motivated to reach his career goals of becoming an attorney.

Thomas is one of five students selected as a Florida NAACP Law Fellow.

Thomas is also working in downtown Orlando at the law firm of Mark NeJame, a well- respected trial attorney and legal analyst who has handled many high-profile cases.

And when he reaches his goal of completing FAMU Law and becoming a lawyer – a Rattler for Justice-Thomas hopes to open a practice back home as he works to make life better for his family and his community.

“Growing up, I witnessed a lot of discrepancies in my community due to the misinterpretation of the law,” said Thomas.
