Lawyer dads face unique challenges:
- demanding careers
- limited time
- high stress
- complex family needs
- a strong desire to “get it right” at work and at home
Too often, finding the right help means:
- cold searching
- conflicting recommendations
- sales-driven outreach
- wasted time
- misalignment
TPN removes friction by providing trusted, community-aligned partners who understand the realities of life as a lawyer dad.

Frequently Asked Questions
Please reach us at info@dadesq.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
TPN is a curated network of vetted service providers who support lawyer dads and their families across work, health, finances, relationships, parenting, and life outside the office.
TPN is not an open directory or advertising platform.
Every provider is reviewed for quality, responsiveness, and alignment with the Dad, Esq. community.
Dad, Esq. is a growing community of lawyer dads across practice areas and career stages who value:
- trust over hype
- efficiency over noise
- relationships over transactions
Members are thoughtful consumers who prefer credible recommendations and warm introductions, not cold outreach.
Most directories sell exposure.
TPN is built around trust and alignment:
- selective vetting
- limited category representation
- community-first engagement
- education over promotion
Providers are not buying access to a list — they’re earning inclusion in a trusted ecosystem.
TPN uses top-level service categories (e.g., financial services; health, fitness, & wellness; marriage, family, & parenting; education & child development; career, business, & professional development; lifestyle & home support; and legal services).
Within a category, Dad, Esq. may approve one provider per distinct subcategory, based on factors such as:
- specialty or focus area
- delivery model
- client need
This allows for clarity and scarcity while recognizing that different providers may serve different needs within the same broad category.
Category and subcategory decisions are made at the sole discretion of Dad, Esq.
No exclusivity is guaranteed by default.
However, TPN is intentionally limited. In practice, most subcategories are represented by a single trusted provider to protect clarity and value.
If exclusivity is relevant to a category, it will be discussed transparently during the review process.
This is an important distinction.
Trusted Providers may not use Dad, Esq. community access or affiliation to initiate sales outreach.
This guideline does not restrict normal professional networking, including:
- LinkedIn activity
- conferences or events
- public conversations
- inbound inquiries
- situations where Dad, Esq. membership is incidental or unknown
The boundary is intent-based, not platform-based.
In short:
You may not treat the community as a prospect list.
You may continue normal, ethical professional networking.
Only with prior approval and in accordance with brand guidelines.
Approved partners may reference their status as a Dad, Esq. Trusted Provider once accepted, but may not imply endorsement, guarantees, or preferred outcomes.

Dad, Esq. reserves the right to revoke logo usage if provider status ends.

Investment may include:

Acceptance is based on fit and standards — not payment alone.
No. Partnership fees are non-refundable, including in cases where a provider is removed for violating Trusted Provider guidelines or failing to maintain required standards.
