Soraya Martial-Wright
Attorney
“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.” — James Baldwin Soraya is the Managing Attorney and Founder of The Autonomy Group (TAG), PC. With a deep commitment to service, advocacy, and empowerment, she leads the firm with a client-centered approach that reflects both compassion and strategic excellence. After graduating with honors from Livingstone College with a Bachelor of Arts, Soraya spent over a decade serving the community through her work with the Social Security Administration. There, she helped thousands of individuals navigate complex systems with dignity and care. Driven by a passion for justice and a desire to make an even greater impact, she pursued her law degree part-time while working full-time—a testament to her determination and unwavering work ethic. Now a licensed attorney, Soraya focuses on Estate Planning, Elder Law, Special Needs Planning, Social Security matters, and Immigration, helping families across North and South Carolina plan with confidence and peace of mind. Outside of the office, Soraya finds joy in nature. She loves hiking and considers the perfect day one spent near the water—soaking up the sun with a good book in hand.
