As a senior associate at Mallon & McCool, LLC, Ms. Coleman has served as co-counsel in complex criminal matters in both state and federal courts. Ms. Coleman has served as lead trial counsel for civil tort actions and has also served as lead counsel in employment discrimination mediations before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and in federal court.

Appointed by a Federal Judge as co-counsel for indigent client charged with Conspiracy to Distribute One Kilogram or More of Phencyclidine, Possessing a Firearm During a Federal Drug Trafficking Offense, Armed Extortion, Armed Robbery, First Degree Burglary While Armed, Obstruction of Justice, Cruelty to Children, Unlawful Possession with the Intent to Distribute Phencyclidine and Possession of an Unregistered Firearm. Ms. Coleman served as lead counsel at oral argument on a motion to dismiss five of the six 18 U.S.C. § 924(c) charges against Mr. Brown, on the basis that the § 924(c) charges could not be based on a D.C. Code, and not federal, offense. After oral argument, the Court granted the motion to dismiss and concluded, in a matter of first impression for the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, that “Congress intended for § 924(c) to reach only federal, U.S. Code crimes.” United States v. Dawayne Brown, et al., 58 F. Supp. 3d 115 (D.D.C 2014). In securing the dismissal of these charges, Ms. Coleman ensured that, if convicted, her client would no longer face a mandatory life sentence. On March 24, 2015, following a 12-week trial, a jury acquitted Mr. Brown on all charges, except a lesser burglary offense and Unlawful Possession with the Intent to Distribute Phencyclidine and Possession of an Unregistered Firearm.
