Client Success Story: MBE Certification Appeal
Denied. Appealed. Reversed.
After two years of working through the certification process, Metropolitan Strategies and Solutions, led by Founder and CEO LeJuan Strickland, was denied MBE certification by a state certifying agency.
The Griffith Law Group filed an appeal in state court. Once our legal submissions were on the record, the agency reversed its decision and granted the certification our client had earned.
