NCCU Law Alumnus Appointed First Black County Attorney in a Virginia County

North Carolina Central University School of Law alumnus Hassan Kingsberry ’04 has been appointed as the first Black county attorney for Prince George County, Virginia, marking a historic milestone for the county.

Kingsberry brings extensive experience in municipal government and public service, consistently delivering thoughtful legal counsel, leadership and tangible results for the communities he serves.

My paternal grandfather taught me to work hard at whatever I do and provide well for my wife and children. I’m thankful for my legal education at NCCU School of Law and I’m proud to carry the legacy of service and advocacy wherever I am.”

With this appointment, Kingsberry joins the growing ranks of Legal Eagles leading and serving communities across the region and the nation.
