Katrell Nash is a seasoned, results-driven attorney with over a decade of courtroom experience and a reputation for fierce advocacy and favorable outcomes. Known for her legal precision, tenacity, and commitment to justice, she is a trusted ally in criminal, family, and juvenile law matters.

A native of Biloxi, Mississippi, and daughter of a military veteran, Nash grew up learning to adapt, speak up, and face challenges head-on—traits that continue to define her legal career. After earning her degrees from the University of Southern Mississippi and 

Mississippi College School of Law, she became licensed to practice in both Mississippi and Georgia, proudly becoming the first attorney in her family.

Nash began her career as an Assistant Public Defender for the Augusta Judicial Circuit, representing clients in misdemeanor and felony cases across multiple counties. Her performance earned her leadership roles, including Felony Trial Team Leader and Co-Supervisor of the State Court Division.

She has secured hundreds of favorable outcomes, including dismissals, reductions, and acquittals, earning recognition as a Top 40 Under 40, Rising Star, Super Lawyer, and Lawyer of Distinction.

Clients turn to Nash because she is not only knowledgeable but also prepared, persistent, and deeply committed to their future. Outside the courtroom, she enjoys traveling, giving back to her community, and spending time with her dogs, Thurgood and Langston.
