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, child support enforcement and establishment. In July 2026, she was recognised as the Region 9 AAG of the Year by the Office of the Attorney General of Texas — an honour awarded by the Attorney General for her contributions to the Child Support Division.

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 Midlo Angels 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 be evident in every aspect of one's work — in the courtroom, on the page, and in the community.

In addition to leading the Book Club, Hannah serves as a Member of the Board of Governors of the Midlothian Angel Network (Midlo Angels), a Dallas-based angel investment network.

Hannah also serves on the Advisory Board of A Memory Grows, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization dedicated to supporting grieving parents and families following the loss of a child. The organization also serves as a resource for hospitals, clinics, hospice groups, churches, and other nonprofit organizations, providing compassionate support, education, and outreach to those navigating grief.

When she is not working, Hannah is often reading, traveling, or spending time with family. The same curiosity and care that shape her legal work are evident in how she spends her time outside it.
