Hi, I'm Samira Jackson, an attorney and government affairs professional with a strong background in law, negotiation, and client advocacy. I bring a results-driven, strategic approach to navigating complex legal and policy challenges, shaped by my experience in both private practice and the professional sports industry - where I made history as part of the first mother-daughter duo to become NFL certified agents.

At Manis Canning & Associates, I combine my legal acumen and litigation experience with a solid and growing understanding of Maryland's legislative landscape to advance my clients' interests effectively. I'm known for my integrity, work ethic, and ability to manage high-stakes negotiations, whether in the courtroom, the boardroom, or the State House. Though I'm early in my lobbying career, I've already demonstrated my ability to adapt quickly, think strategically, and deliver results in high-pressure, fast-paced environments.

Samira is highly regarded for her integrity and professionalism. Her mentors and colleagues have noted, "Anything that Samira puts her mind and heart to, it's a matter of when, not if."

A proud University of Maryland, College Park alumna with a B.A. in Communication, Samira earned her J.D. with a certificate in Intellectual Property from St. Thomas University's Benjamin L. Crump School of Law. She is a member of the Maryland Bar and an active volunteer, mentoring aspiring young women attorneys through the Montgomery County Women's Bar Association and providing pro bono services with Community Legal Services of Prince George's County.

Samira has two rescue dogs, Gloria and Fred, and is a Montgomery County, Maryland native. With her combination of legal acumen, negotiation skills, and commitment to service, Samira is poised to deliver impactful results for MCA's clients in Annapolis and beyond.
