Scholarship Winner

We are proud to announce Hannah Griggs as the recipient of the Tandy Law Firm Scholarship. An aspiring trial attorney at William & Mary Law School.

Meet Hannah

Originally from a small town in South Carolina, Hannah relocated to the Washington, D.C. area after college to pursue a career in consulting, working on projects involving the United States Space Force and public land preservation.

She will attend William & Mary Law School, where she plans to pursue a Criminal Law & Procedure concentration with a long-term goal of becoming a trial attorney.
