Managing Members Lisa D. McLaughlin and Adrienne J. Davis lead MGD Law as it represents clients seeking guidance on estate planning and multi-generational wealth transfers.  

At the heart of their practice is compassion, humanity, and representation from women who understand what it is like to assume the role of caretaker. 

“All of us recognize that the skills you acquire from being a caregiver for family members […] make us better attorneys, better listeners for our clients and more familiar with the various obstacles and troubles that our clients face,” Davis said.  

Combined, Davis, Member Jennifer Hoffman and McLaughlin have over 90 years of experience. Because of this expertise and care, McLaughlin is working with fifth-generation clients.

The good news for young female attorneys and future firm leaders? Change is here, Hoffman says. 

“The world is changing, and where sometimes I found in my early years of the career, that maybe a male client didn’t want to speak with me, I don’t find that anymore,” Hoffman said.
