CEO Lawyer Ali Awad Wins $75,000 Settlement in Perry Greene Harassment case, Announces in Press Conference with CAIR-Georgia
The Georgia Chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-GA), the local chapter of the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization (CAIR), today joined CEO Lawyer Ali Awad, of the CEO Lawyer firm, for a press conference at Masjid Jafar in Johns Creek, Georgia, where the CEO Lawyer secured and announced a $75,000 settlement with Perry Greene, ex-husband of U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene.
The settlement was paid to Masjid Jafar, the local mosque attended by the three young Muslim women, concluding the civil suit. The women were harassed by Perry Greene in an Avalon parking lot on Eid ul Fitr, a Muslim holiday, on March 30, 2025, after he spotted them praying and launched into a hateful anti-Muslim tirade. The three young Muslim women participated in the press conference and answered questions from the press.
One of the Muslim women, Nesrine remarked, “I want to tell Mr. Greene that we accept his apology, and we hope he will continue to treat others with fairness, respect, equality and dignity.”
CAIR-Georgia Executive Director Azka Mahmood stated, “Islamophobia and hate of any kind has no home in Alpharetta or in Georgia. And if you do commit Islamophobic or racist attacks on anyone in this community, not only is there a social, emotional and moral cost, it will also cost you in terms of your wealth.”
CEO Lawyer, Ali Awad said, “We are not looking for money, we are simply looking to be treated as equal, nothing more.” He also added that this settlement was a “discount” that was only offered AFTER a private apology was given to the victims and their families, a public apology was issued to the world, and community service was completed by Mr. Greene. But most importantly “because our clients accepted the apology.” The CEO Lawyer Firm settled the case for $75,000.
