(34,065 posts)Counsel representing his parents come from two different firms - and neither firm looks like this from what I can tell.
Counsel representing his father appears to be majority white (https://www.mceldrewyoung.com/team/); counsel representing his mother appears to be majority black - but I don't recognize most of them in this picture. (https://bencrump.com/attorneys/)
It is fantastic if that is his legal team - I just can't match it to either firm.

ETA: Mystery solved:
Im still in tears, said Chris Stewart on Thursday evening after he heard the news. Stewart, who represents Arberys family, is a civil rights attorney who is working with the team of lawyers representing the family, including Lee Merritt and Ben Crump.
