Hannah Salami

Hannah Salami is an attorney licensed in both Nigeria and Texas, with more than 13 years of legal experience spanning two legal systems. She currently serves as an Assistant Attorney General for the State of Texas, where her work touches family law, gender justice, and international legal matters.

Her path to practicing law in the United States began at the Nigerian Law School, where she trained and was called to the Nigerian Bar. She went on to earn her LL.M. from SMU Dedman School of Law in Dallas, completing the program built specifically for foreign-trained lawyers seeking to practice in the U.S. — a path that let her carry her grounding in Nigerian law into a second, distinctly American legal career in Texas.

Hannah is a committed advocate for justice and mentorship. Beyond her legal practice, she leads the Midlothian Angel Book Club, fostering a literary community she describes as one of the most personally rewarding parts of her life outside the law. She is driven by a deep faith and a belief that purpose should show up in every part of one's work — in the courtroom, on the page, and in the community.

When she isn't working, Hannah is usually reading, traveling, or spending time with family — the same curiosity and care that shapes her legal work shows up in how she spends her time outside it.
