Look inside
We all want to make the most of our money, but no one gives us an instruction guide. I’m a former lawyer turned Accredited Financial Counselor and I understand that lawyers just don’t have the same money issues. Get the guide and you’ll learn:

What my clients say…

Jessica lays out very clear options along a spectrum from making an immediate and drastic career change to taking a longer term approach, along with a timeline for those options. Those options included things I had not and would not have thought of… I'm in a different space than a Biglaw associate--but Jessica's services would have been invaluable to me back then. They were invaluable now as a Biglaw partner. I appreciate how she was able to tailor her approach to where I am in life…I feel more confident that I have a wide range of options to make changes in my career if I want to.

I have no shortage of people contacting me on LinkedIn and via unsolicited emails offering their financial services. The "partner" title attracts that. I've talked to many of them over the years and NONE of them are offering the kind of practical education about how to take control of your finances that Jessica is. I had given up on the idea that someone like her exists. And then, there she was! For the first time, I feel like I have the tools to keep better track of where I am spending my money and how to allocate my money in a way that aligns with my goals and values.
Hi there!
I’m a former lawyer turned Accredited Financial Counselor so I marry an intimate understanding of lawyer life with the personal finance strategies that actually work for attorneys. I graduated from Columbia Law School as a single mom of twins with over $200,000 in student loan debt, took a stroll through Biglaw and the federal government, before leaving the law for my dream career. And now I help attorneys finance their dream lives, too.
