The Dad, Esq. community includes Lawyer Dads from all walks of life, united by the shared experience of balancing a demanding legal career with the joys and challenges of fatherhood. They include:
• New Fathers: Dads navigating sleepless nights, diapers, and the early days of parenthood while managing their legal workload.
• Experienced Dads (and Grand-Dads!): Seasoned fathers offering hard-earned wisdom on raising older children while thriving in their legal careers.
• Lawyers at Every Career Stage: From law students, to big law associates and partners, solo practitioners, in-house counsel, government and pro bono attorneys, members represent diverse legal roles.
• Committed Partners: Fathers who value family as much as their career success and seek strategies to excel in both.
• Community Builders: Men who are passionate about sharing their stories, learning from others, and fostering connections with like-minded peers.
Together, they are a community of men striving not just to survive but to thrive—in the courtroom, at home, and everywhere in between.
Please reach us at info@dadesq.com if you cannot find an answer to your particular question.
Our community is focused on bringing together individuals who are passionate about being a Lawyer Dad and are searching for a community. We organize events, share resources, and provide a platform for networking and collaboration.
We offer resources and community discussions on topics like:
• Time management and work-life balance.
• Parenting tips tailored to Lawyer Dads.
• Dealing with stress and burnout at the office and at home.
• Personal stories and advice from Lawyer Dads in various career stages.
• Tools for strengthening family relationships while building a legal career.
Yes! We host a monthly series of live Zoom meetups designed to bring us all together, no matter where you are.
We’re also planning local in-person meetups (coming soon) to take our connections offline. These gatherings will give you the chance to meet other Lawyer Dads in your area, share advice face-to-face, and strengthen the community on a more personal level.
Keep an eye on your email or our events page for upcoming dates.
Dad, Esq. is specifically designed for Lawyer Dads who are navigating the unique challenges of balancing a legal career with modern day fatherhood. While non-lawyers and moms in the legal profession face similar challenges, this community focuses on the distinct experiences, expectations, and struggles that dads encounter, such as societal pressures, fatherhood roles, and work-life balance strategies tailored to their perspective.
We believe in creating a space where Lawyer Dads can openly share, learn, and support one another. Non-lawyers and moms in the legal field deserve a similarly dedicated space to address their unique experiences, and we encourage and support those initiatives as well.
While Dad, Esq. is tailored to Lawyer Dads, we welcome non-lawyers and moms in the legal profession to sign up for updates and help spread the word!

No, Dad, Esq. does not provide legal advice, representation, or services. Our platform is a community and resource for Lawyer Dads to share parenting tips, career insights, and personal experiences. While we discuss topics related to law and fatherhood, none of the content should be considered legal advice. If you need legal assistance, we recommend consulting a qualified attorney in your jurisdiction.
