As we dive into Labor Day weekend, we're inspired to revisit an impactful message from our President/CEO, Rebecca Geller.

Rebecca's words, "๐‘พ๐’‰๐’†๐’ ๐’”๐’๐’Ž๐’†๐’๐’๐’† ๐’•๐’†๐’๐’๐’” ๐’š๐’๐’– ๐’•๐’‰๐’Š๐’” ๐’Š๐’” ๐’•๐’‰๐’† ๐’˜๐’‚๐’š ๐’•๐’‰๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ๐’” ๐’‰๐’‚๐’—๐’† ๐’‚๐’๐’˜๐’‚๐’š๐’” ๐’ƒ๐’†๐’†๐’ ๐’…๐’๐’๐’†, ๐’”๐’๐’Ž๐’†๐’•๐’Š๐’Ž๐’†๐’” ๐’•๐’‰๐’† ๐’Œ๐’†๐’š ๐’•๐’ ๐’„๐’‰๐’‚๐’๐’ˆ๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ ๐’•๐’‰๐’† ๐’˜๐’๐’“๐’๐’… ๐’Š๐’” ๐’”๐’Š๐’Ž๐’‘๐’๐’š ๐’•๐’ ๐’‚๐’”๐’Œ, ๐’ƒ๐’–๐’• ๐’˜๐’‰๐’š?โ€ resonate with us more than ever.

Rebecca truly leads by these words, having challenged the traditional law firm model by allowing flexible work schedules, enabling our team to work remotely, and encouraging us to set our schedules around our clients and families.

She recognized that nurturing personal well-being turns into an investment in client relationships - affirming that work calls can be scheduled around piano lessons and baseball games without diminishing anyone's professional or personal roles.

This Labor Day, we want to celebrate this vision, which brought our firm into being and became a beacon for fostering a healthy work-life blend.

Today, our remarkable squad of 34 women continuously breaks boundaries and finds new heights of success together.

Wishing everyone a joyful and well-balanced LABOR DAY!

Today is Women's Equality Day.

As a proud all-women-owned and operated law firm, we honor the brave women who secured the passage of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, unlocking the ballot box for women on August 26, 1920.

We're also mindful that this milestone did not include all women.

Today, we celebrate how far we've traveled yet acknowledge there's still a distance to cover. Change only comes when we raise our voices and demand justice. ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ

August is National Breastfeeding Month.

Each year, we celebrate the accomplishments of those who have advocated for legal rights to breastfeed in public, including GLG President & CEO Rebecca Geller.

It's hard to believe that until 2015, women in Virginia were not protected under the law to breastfeed in public. Working with a powerful alliance of Virginia moms after experiencing an encounter while discreetly breastfeeding her infant daughter in public, Rebecca helped champion the Right to Breastfeed Law.

Governor Terry McAuliffe signed the bill, and on July 1, 2015, a new law protecting a motherโ€™s right to breastfeed in any place where the mother is lawfully present, took effect. Rebecca and her daughter (pictured here) attended the signing.

At GLG, we aim to support mothers, families, and their legal rights. National Breastfeeding Month gives us the opportunity to reflect on the progress made and drive to continue advocating for more inclusive environments.

At GLG, we believe in the power of women supporting other women! We were deeply moved by the heartwarming act of sportsmanship displayed by a group of female soccer players during a recent match.

In a powerful moment, an opponent's hijab slipped off during the game. In an incredible display of empathy and respect, her competitors from the Shabab Al Urdon Club immediately paused the game and huddled around her to provide cover and support so she could readjust her hijab privately.

This act of solidarity truly encapsulates the spirit of women supporting each other, even in the midst of competition. It also reminds us that unity and compassion transcend boundaries.

Let's continue to uplift and support each other, both on and off the field. Together, we can make a positive difference in the lives of others. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’ช

The moment is going viral online as a great example of sportsmanship.

GLG President & CEO Rebecca Geller is visiting Scotland for her wedding anniversary.

While many of us may opt for the traditional romantic dinner and flowers for our anniversary, Rebecca took it up a notch by holding and flying bald eagles! ๐Ÿฆ… Her bird-phobic husband decided to conquer his fear by playing golf...in bare feet. That's what we call compromise! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Here's to Rebecca, the epitome of adventure and fearlessness, and her easy-going, always supportive husband, Brad! Cheers to an anniversary celebration full of feathers, flying golf balls, and unforgettable memories! ๐Ÿฅ‚๐ŸŽŠ

Going through a divorce is challenging and emotional, but you don't have to face it alone.

One of our most popular blog posts is about navigating an in-home separation during a divorce. In this post, we've summarized the key points to help you establish a legal separation while still living in the same home.

Here's a quick summary of the 7 points:

1. Create separate living spaces within the home.
2. Take on separate responsibilities and financial expenses.
3. Develop a custody schedule for children.
4. Limit socializing jointly and inform friends and family about the separation.
5. Consider drafting a comprehensive written separation agreement.
6. Practice self-care and seek professional help when needed.
7. Utilize the support of a professional therapist.

We understand how difficult it can be to get sound advice during one of life's most taxing events. If you're struggling or need guidance, don't hesitate to reach out to us. ๐Ÿ“ž

Divorce is a complicated process in any situation, but for LGBTQ+ divorcees, it can be even more daunting.

At The Geller Law Group, we understand the unique challenges that members of the LGBTQ+ community face when it comes to family law matters. We're proud to provide legal support to LGBTQ+ individuals and families, and we're committed to ensuring that our clients receive the best possible legal representation to protect their rights.

Divorce is a stressful process for everyone, but for LGBTQ+ divorcees there are many additional factors to consider.

๐Ÿ“ข Attention Parents! ๐Ÿ“ข

With summer travel underway, it's essential for parents to consider the legal implications when traveling without children, as unexpected situations can arise.

Having a Limited Power of Attorney (LPOA) in place can help provide you with peace of mind during your travels. ๐Ÿ›ซ

An LPOA grants someone temporary parental and custodial powers over your children, allowing them to make medical decisions and handle other important matters on your behalf.

GLG Senior Associate Meghan Lentscher highlights the significance of this legal consideration for parents in a blog post: https://www.thegellerlawgroup.com/legal-considerations-for-parents-as-we-begin-to-travel-again/

At GLG, we believe that proactive planning is the key to protecting your family's well-being.

Contact us today to schedule a consultation and ensure you have the necessary measures in place before you embark on your summer adventures: [email protected]

GLG Estate Planning Attorney Megan Lentscher explains why you may need a Limited Power of Attorney before traveling.

As we celebrate this Independence Day, we celebrate the pillars our nation was founded upon: Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.

As Pride Month comes to a close, we share this thoughtful guest blog post by GLG client J. Larissa Godfrey-Smith, LPC, of Godfrey-Smith Counseling.

Larissa delves into the challenges and joys of supporting and celebrating q***r and gender-expansive youth with steps for showing up fully and genuinely for our children, including:

๐Ÿ’ญ Reflecting on internalized messages about gender norms
๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ Making space for open, safe discussions about identity
๐Ÿค Believing and listening to your child when they express themselves
โ“ Asking if they need quiet or active support
๐ŸŒŸ Practicing gender expansion to show love and celebration

Together, we can build a more colorful, fluid future for all!

Steps for parents to learn how to fully and genuinely celebrate their childโ€™s identity at a time when being q***r feels particularly targeted by politicians and some state legislatures.

06/29/2023

Today we watched as the Supreme Court gave its ruling striking down affirmative action in the student admission process for colleges and universities. This unfortunate event dismantles pathways of opportunity put into place decades ago to ensure underrepresented populations had a fair consideration when applying to higher education.

Our firm feels disheartened by this decision and wants to reiterate our commitment to and advocacy for diversity, equity, and inclusion within the United States. Our hope is that colleges and universities will work diligently to find effective ways to continue to diversify their student populations and hinder the continued perpetuation of systemic disparities. We all have a role to play to continue to advocate for the reduction and elimination of barriers our underrepresented populations face.

"My message to our country's youth: Do not let this decision diminish the goals you may have set forth for yourself. Instead let this decision be further motivation to not only accomplish what you've set out to do but surpass it. When these barriers arise, we must not sit in silence, but continue to fight and break through them." - Rahni Jenkins, Chief Human Resources & Operations Officer
