Dionne was admitted to the State Bar of Georgia and licensed to practice law in 2000.

Dionne began her career as a prosecutor working as an Assistant Solicitor in the City Court of Atlanta.

In 2012, Dionne established McGee Law LLC, specializing in criminal defense, family law and personal injury. Through her firm, she hosted monthly “Coffee and Conversations,” through which she connected civic leaders and concerned citizens to discuss various issues plaguing our schools and communities. While in private practice, Dionne was appointed by former Mayor Kasim Reed to serve as a Pro Hac Judge in the City of Atlanta Municipal Court to preside over traffic court cases.
