Meet Alex Adewunmi

"Access to justice is sacred. I founded Adewunmi Law Firm to deliver championship-caliber legal representation to growing businesses and individuals who deserve more than just a number on a docket. When the stakes are high, choose an attorney who prepares for every case like it's game day." — Alex

Alexander ("Alex") Adewunmi is the founding partner and managing attorney of Adewunmi Law Firm, PLLC. A former Division I student-athlete at Texas Christian University, Alex brings the same discipline, preparation, and competitive drive to the courtroom that he once brought to the football field.

Alex represents clients throughout the DFW Metroplex in complex commercial litigation, family law matters, and business disputes. His litigation experience includes breach of contract, fraud, tortious interference, breach of fiduciary duty, and real estate disputes. In family law, he provides strategic, compassionate representation in divorce, custody, property division, and enforcement matters. Alex also serves as trusted counsel to small businesses and entrepreneurs, guiding them through entity formation, operating agreements, and employment contracts to build solid legal foundations for growth.

Before launching his firm, Alex honed his skills as a commercial litigation associate at Wick Phillips Gould & Martin, LLP, where he supported high-stakes civil matters involving contracts, employment disputes, and construction defects. This big-firm foundation, combined with the personalized attention of a boutique practice, allows him to deliver what larger firms often cannot: direct partner-level attention on every matter.

Alex earned his J.D. from the University of North Texas Dallas College of Law, where he served as President of the Board of Advocates and Staff Editor for the Law Review. He earned national recognition as Best Advocate and Finalist in the 2018 ABA National Employment & Labor Law Mock Trial Competition. He holds a B.S. in Film/Digital Media from TCU, where he was a Big 12 Academic All-American.

In recognition of his contributions to the legal profession and commitment to diversity, Alex was named to The National Black Lawyers Top 40 Under 40 (2020) and has been recognized as a Texas Rising Star by Thomson Reuters (2023–2025).

Outside the office, Alex enjoys hiking, fishing, and waterskiing.

FAQs

What is Top 40 Under 40?

The National Black Lawyers Top 40 Under 40 is comprised of 40 of the most talented Black attorneys from each state or region who are under the age of 40. Their mission is to celebrate and promote selected attorneys as subject-matter experts, expand their strong national network of African American attorneys, and facilitate the exchange of timely legal information to enable members to maintain their status as professional leaders. To receive an invitation to join, nominees must meet the following criteria:

Outstanding reputation among peers, the judiciary and the public
Notable achievements, settlements, and verdicts as a lawyer
Nominations from leading lawyers, current members, and Executive Committee members
Leadership and membership in other national and state specialty lawyer organizations
Rankings and ratings by leading national evaluation organizations

How was Alex selected for Top 40 Under 40?

The National Black Lawyers Top 40 Under 40 is an organization dedicated to recognizing and highlighting African American legal excellence. Alex was selected to join the Top 40 under 40 organization, reflecting both his professional accomplishments and his commitment to promoting diversity within the legal profession.

What is a Thomson Reuters Rising Star, and why does it matter?

Thomson Reuters Super Lawyers is an independent rating service that identifies outstanding attorneys across more than 70 practice areas nationwide. The "Rising Stars" designation specifically recognizes attorneys who are 40 years old or younger, or who have been practicing for 10 years or less, and who have demonstrated exceptional professional achievement.

The selection process is rigorous. Candidates are evaluated through peer nominations, independent research, and peer evaluations across 12 indicators, including verdicts and settlements, representative clients, professional honors, bar activity, pro bono work, and scholarly contributions. Only 2.5% of attorneys in Texas earn the Rising Stars designation in any given year.

What does Alex's consecutive Rising Stars recognition (2023, 2024, 2025) mean for potential clients?

Three consecutive years of recognition signals sustained excellence, not a one-time achievement. In a legal marketplace flooded with marketing claims and paid directories, the Rising Stars designation stands apart because it is based on what other attorneys think of a lawyer's work. Peer recognition matters because the lawyers evaluating candidates have seen them in action: in depositions, in courtrooms, in negotiations. When your peers consistently say you belong in the top 2.5%, that tells prospective clients something meaningful about the quality of representation they can expect.

For clients in 2026, this recognition also confirms that Alex has remained at the forefront of his practice areas during a period of significant change in the legal industry. The attorneys who earn repeated recognition are the ones adapting, growing, and continuing to deliver results.
