In case you are curious about how I lawyer, I am grateful to Nate Crespo for having me on his podcast Lawyers in the Making to discuss my path and practice. Although an undergraduate, Nate's podcast is doing a great job to help demystify the legal profession for its future members. You can listen to our free-flowing conversation here.
With that, I am excited to share another episode of the How I Lawyer Podcast, where I interview lawyers about what they do, why they do it, and how they do it well.

Before founding her law firm, Karen worked as in-house counsel at Half Price Books and GameStop and as an associate at a law firm in Dallas. Jennifer is the Chief Legal Officer of Destination Pet, LLC, and before her current role, worked as a solo practitioner, General Counsel at Rug Doctor, Deputy General Counsel at Caliber Home Loans, and also as a law firm associate.
