Hailing from over 40 years of experience as a civil rights lawyer and advocate for equity and accountability, Ms. Price has established a remarkably successful legal career.

Prior to establishing Pamela Price Enterprises, Ms. Price served as the District Attorney for Alameda County from 2023 to 2024.
