Biography

Growing up in a large family equipped Muhammad Abdullah with one of the most powerful skills that an attorney can possess: effective communication. As the second of nine children, Muhammad learned very early on how to communicate with people who have diverse personalities and interests. He says that while it is important to zealously advocate on behalf of clients, it is equally important to keep clients informed.

At Alexander Shunnarah, Muhammad uses his effective communication skills to advocate on behalf of clients. Prior to joining the firm, Muhammad was an agent who negotiated sports and entertainment contracts. Additionally, Muhammad worked for Christian and Small LLP as a business and commercial litigator. He’s also a certified public accountant (CPA) who worked as an auditor for Ernst & Young’s Atlanta office. Muhammad’s accounting experience helps him assess the potential risks and benefits of proposed contract terms, legal strategy or business transaction.

Muhammad has practiced personal injury, business litigation, and tax law in Alabama and Georgia since 2010, bringing a rare combination of legal expertise and accounting acumen to complex cases involving contracts, commercial disputes, and personal injury claims.
