I am LaKeith M. Faulkner, a vessel of light, a relentless advocate, and a strategist who gladiates for justice when the stakes are highest.

As the founder of Gladiator Legal Solutions, I bring a rare combination of legal training, lived experience, and unshakable commitment to fighting for fair and humane sentencing outcomes.

I earned my Juris Doctor with a Criminal Law Concentration from the University of Mississippi School of Law in 2020, passed the Mississippi Bar Exam, and developed expertise in federal criminal law, sentencing mitigation, and narrative advocacy. I also bring a lens of compassion and understanding through my academic training in the Master of Science in Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling program at the University of Memphis, which deepens my ability to see the whole person behind every case.

But my work goes far beyond theory; it is grounded in personal resilience and firsthand experience inside the federal justice system. Having faced its harsh realities myself, I emerged with a mission: to stand in the gap for others.

At Gladiator Legal Solutions, I do more than draft legal documents. I craft strategies that humanize defendants, uncover the untold story behind every case, and empower legal teams to fight with precision and purpose. Every client I serve is more than a case file; they are a life, a story, and a future worth defending.

I am not afraid to enter the arena, challenge the narrative, and wield both law and compassion as my weapons. Because when justice is a battle… you need a gladiator in your corner.

My mission is to show people who encounter the criminal justice system how to reclaim their stories, transforming the way courts, communities, and society see defendants.

Not as statistics, but as human beings capable of redemption.

By helping clients rewrite their narratives, I aim to create pathways of justice that restore dignity, inspire second chances, and change lives far beyond the courtroom.
