Financial Wellness Expert for Lawyers
Jessica Medina is a lawyer turned Accredited Financial Counselor on a mission to help attorneys create the financial freedom they need to do big things. She graduated from Columbia Law School in 2004 as a single mom of twins with over $200,000 in student loans and went straight to work at a Biglaw firm. After eight years she switched roles and became Senior Counsel at the Division of Enforcement at the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. She left the government to work in an area of the financial industry outside of the securities world and now teaches other lawyers how to use their money to finance their dream lives.
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. E.H. - Former Client

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s your speaking fee?
My standard speaking fee is $4,000 for a one-hour virtual workshop. Any in-person engagement will also require reasonable travel expenses to be covered. If you’re not sure whether this fits in your programming budget, schedule an Exploratory Call and let’s discuss.
Are your presentations eligible for CLE credit?
My webinars are eligible for CLE credit in most jurisdictions, and we can usually revise materials to make sure they meet CLE requirements. Any CLE approval or processing is handled by the host (not Jessica Medina LLC) but I’m more than willing to work with your team to get CLE credit approved.
Do you provide additional materials beyond the live presentation?
All presentations are accompanied by participant worksheet(s) to cement learning and provide actionable next steps. In some cases, full presentation slides may be provided.
Are there any finance topics you do not cover?
As an Accredited Financial Counselor I educate attorneys on all matters of financial topics. That being said, I do not give investment, insurance, or tax advice and instead leave those topics to the appropriately licensed professionals. I do co-present with other financial professionals if these are topics of interest.
What if I have an idea for a presentation, but it’s not listed above?
Set up an Exploratory Call and let’s discuss what you have in mind. There are so many financial wellness topics and as a lawyer turned Accredited Financial Counselor I can cover a variety of topics relevant to attorneys.
