Women Lawyers of JMBM

The Women Lawyers of JMBM come together each month to discuss what's on our minds: taking care of our clients, taking care of our families, developing business and developing as lawyers and human beings. You can read about some of our activities here.

JMBM's women lawyers are first-rate counselors and advocates. We are skilled, ethical, and committed to delivering the best results to our clients. We are also mothers, partners, immigrants, musicians, mountain climbers, baseball fans, lacrosse team captains, and friends. Here's what some of us have to say about the practice of law, our families, our interests and our lives.
