In addition to making justice accessible, Ramona has made every effort to ensure that the law is applied correctly, both in letter and in spirit. Since beginning her professional journey, Ramona has worked on a variety of cases from traffic offenses, armed robbery, aggravated assault, vehicular homicides, murder, and illegal manufacture and distribution of controlled substances.  

With her vast and varied experience, doing so comes naturally to her. She started off her professional journey as an Assistant Solicitor at the City of Atlanta Traffic Court.  Later, she was hired at the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office in the Child Support Unit.  While in that Unit, she was tasked with helping custodial parents get the relief they needed to take care of their families.  Eventually, she was assigned to the Trial Division, where she managed a large caseload and supervised and trained law school Interns. In 2016, she joined the Gwinnett County District Attorney’s Office, where she remained until 2021.

Since then, Ramona has served as the Deputy District Attorney for the Records, Diversion, and Record Restriction Unit under the leadership of the Fulton County District Attorney Fani T. Willis.  In this role, she is responsible for giving people a second chance, either by enrolling them in the Adult Diversion program or restricting their criminal history, when the law allows. She currently supervises ten support staff and two attorneys. At the forefront of Ramona’s work is an appreciation of how every decision made impacts the trajectory of a person’s life and their livelihood. 

Beyond the courtroom, Ramona has demonstrated a strong passion for giving back to her community.  Since moving to Gwinnett, Ramona has spearheaded a number of worthwhile community youth activities such as Teen Unity Night, a children’s “Justice for All” Summit, and multiple Back to School Festivals.  She also serves as a panel member on the Fulton County Juvenile Court Citizen Review Panel.

Her goal moving forward is to use her legal training and experience to be a referee for the legal system she loves. Just as her mother stopped at nothing to provide her and her siblings with the support, resources, and opportunities they needed to thrive, despite being a single parent, Ramona will stand firm to ensure that the people in her community, independent of their status, background, or identity, have equal access to justice under the law.

Ramona is a proud resident of the City of Snellville.  She is a member of the Gwinnett County Bar, Gwinnett County Chapter of the Georgia Association for Women Lawyers (GAWL), the Gwinnett County Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated, the Georgia Association of Black Women Attorneys (GABWA), and The Junior League of Gwinnett and North Fulton.
