Meet Attorney Akua Hanson-Kabu!
(AY-KWEE-AH)
Attorney Akua is the Principal Attorney at Radiant Law, where she leads the firm’s mission to provide compassionate and strategic immigration representation. A first-generation American, her journey and career are deeply rooted in the immigrant experience. The foundation for a career in immigration law was shaped by witnessing the determination of parents who sought better opportunities and education for their children in the United States.
Her connection to immigration began early—at six years old, she helped her mother prepare for the U.S. naturalization exam, an experience that instilled an understanding of the significance of legal status and opportunity. During her teenage years, witnessing a close friend’s family face deportation without adequate legal help further strengthened her resolve to become part of the solution and ensure that others would have access to quality legal advocacy.
Attorney Akua has held multiple roles within the field of immigration law, including paralegal, law clerk, and attorney. This hands-on progression has given her a comprehensive understanding of the full lifecycle of an immigration petition—from document preparation and evidence gathering to complex legal strategy and case resolution. Her professional experience includes working with undocumented and asylum-seeking high school students, assisting foreign nationals facing deportation, supporting survivors of domestic violence seeking permanent residency, and guiding corporations through the process of hiring foreign professionals from abroad.
Attorney Akua earned her Juris Doctor from Suffolk University Law School, where she developed a strong foundation in immigration law and advocacy. As a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), she remains actively engaged with the latest developments and best practices in the field.
Through Radiant Law, Attorney Akua is dedicated to helping individuals, families, and organizations navigate the complexities of the U.S. immigration system with clarity, empathy, and confidence.
