Laura French, The Mom Lawyer
 

“The idea for The Mom Lawyer came to me one evening as I was working with a coach/consultant, when my son was young. I was thinking about the unique insights that I bring to the table as a mother, a lawyer and woman with a career. It occurred to me that, over the years, I had also been a mom of sorts to each of my clients. And The Mom Lawyer® was born.”

— Laura French, The Mom Lawyer®
