Prior to joining Kightlinger & Gray, Omar led a Major Felony Team at the Marion County Public Defender Agency. During his time with the Public Defender’s Office, Omar excelled at managing a high-volume case load with complex legal issues. Omar assisted numerous clients in avoiding serving decades, if not centuries, in prison through effective case resolution. Omar prepared a large number of cases for trial and was the first chair litigating attorney for many of the cases that made it through to trial.
While in law school, Omar served as the Executive Director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations as a Voluntary Executive Director collaborating with interfaith and local communities to attain justice for victims of racially charged harassment.
