A lifelong resident of Mississippi, Greta currently serves as the Litigation Director for Disability Rights Mississippi, dedicating her legal career to fighting for justice and equality. Born and raised in Tishomingo County, Greta is a proud 2007 alumna of the University of Mississippi and earned her juris doctorate from Mississippi College School of Law in 2010. She began her career in private practice, working

In 2018, Greta joined Disability Rights Mississippi, the state’s protection and advocacy agency, where
she works to safeguard the rights of individuals with disabilities. Throughout her career, Greta has
argued cases at various levels, including the Mississippi Supreme Court and the 5th Circuit Court of

Mississippi Trial Lawyers’ Association) and the Mississippi Women Lawyers’ Association. She is
actively involved in the American Association for Justice, Capital Area Bar Association, and the
Mississippi Bar, contributing to the Women in the Profession and Litigation committees. She also
works to address the legal needs of underserved communities through her service on the Mississippi
Access to Justice Commission.

In 2023, Greta had the honor of being the Democratic candidate for Mississippi Attorney General,
running against the incumbent who led the charge to overturn Roe v. Wade. In 2024, she was
recognized by Mississippi Women for Progress as one of the Women on the Rise Empowerment
Leaders and, in June 2024, she received the Fannie Lou Hamer Spirit of Humanity Award from the
Mississippi Association for Justice. She is also a past recipient of the Woman of Achievement and

Outside of the legal community, Greta has been an advisory council member for Planned Parenthood

her community.
