Founding partner of Albany-based Wallace Turner Law, Raysheea Turner, along with her partner Kim Wallace, are actual trailblazers for black women in law. The duo launched their remote-first law office in 2020. With a mission to heal a broken system, they help renters become first-time homeowners and ambitious entrepreneurs create thriving businesses.
