Attorney Muir felt it was appropriate to acknowledge the people who have provided guidance and support: honorees, to whom plaques were presented, her parents and husband, David Muir.
Ribbon cutters included City of Sunrise Mayor Steven B. Feren, Vice Mayor of Lauderhill, Dale V.C. Holness, one of Wright Muir P.A.’s honorees and Attorney Marlon Hill, Jamaican Diaspora Advisory Board Representative for the Southern United States, another honoree. Also present were Jeffrey Newton, County Attorney and another Wright Muir, P.A. honoree, Sunrise City Commissioner, Sheila D. Alu who took some time out from her graduation ceremony from law school that evening to congratulate Ms. Muir.
Mr. Hill, colleague, friend, and one who has extensively interacted with Ms. Muir stated, “We are proud of Ghenete and her accomplishments as a lawyer and community leader. She epitomizes the best of what the Jamaican Diaspora has to offer to our local communities. This revitalized venture for her law firm captures the essence of the American Dream.”
Ms. Muir relocated from New York City to the City of Sunrise in the summer of 2002 with her husband and their two sons and quickly got involved in the legal community.

Reddick Bar Association and the Caribbean Bar Association.
