Legal AssistantDhaJa'e Dix

Meet DhaJa'e Dix.

I’m DhaJa'e, a Legal Assistant at Z Family Law, where I support our team of experienced family law attorneys and work directly with clients to help them create new beginnings.

After earning my Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice (with a concentration in Forensic Science) from Bowie State University, I started my career as a Legal Assistant specializing in Consumer and Commercial Law, which helped me establish a strong foundation of organizational, analytical, and procedural skills. While I valued the technical skills I gained, I found myself wanting to make a more direct and meaningful impact on the lives of clients, which ultimately led me to family law.

My passion for family law is deeply personal. I was introduced to the family court system at a young age as my parents navigated their own custody challenges. Experiencing that process firsthand gave me a deep understanding of the emotional complexity that accompanies family reorganization. Those early experiences shaped my commitment to compassion, fairness, and advocacy, and allow me to approach clients with empathy and understanding.

Having been through it myself, I deeply understand the emotional complexity that comes along with reorganizing a family, and I know what an impact compassion, fairness, and advocacy can have. Being able to offer those things to clients, and to help them find clarity and peace through their own family law matters feels like coming full circle.

I joined Z Family Law because I was drawn to the firm’s heart-centered mission: supporting families as they navigate some of life’s most emotional transitions with strategic legal guidance and compassionate care.

From day one, I’ve admired how the team embodies empowerment, empathy, and professionalism. I love being part of an environment that not only values legal excellence but also prioritizes emotional support and transformation. Every day, I feel proud to contribute to a firm that helps clients turn difficult chapters into new beginnings.

Beyond the technical work, I pride myself on my empathy, reliability, and calm approach under pressure – skills which empower me to support attorneys and clients with both professionalism and compassion.

When I’m not at the office helping clients, you’ll find me perusing local museums and sampling new restaurants with loved ones, watching true crime documentaries, listening to podcasts, journaling, or studying case law.
