Q&A with Celeste

“What do you think sets Akbar Thomas Law Firm apart from other firms?”

Celeste believes the firm’s deep community ties set them apart, as they give back by hosting annual events like their Thanksgiving luncheon and Christmas toy drive. She admires their genuine relationships with local residents, approachable nature, and true commitment to those they serve.

What do you cherish most about your family reunions?

For Celeste, the most special part is being reunited with family members she hasn’t seen in a while, especially those who can’t travel often. These reunions bring together around 175 relatives for a weekend filled with fun activities and special events, including picnics, banquets, and even talent show. She cherishes the time spent reconnecting and celebrating their family bond.

“What’s your favorite spot in Tallahassee, and why do you love it?”

Celeste’s favorite spot in Tallahassee is Longhorn Steakhouse because of its great food variety and relaxed atmosphere. She enjoys meeting friends there on Fridays to catch up over good meals and happy hour drinks.
