About Me
I’m Lauren Lester, a true solo attorney in Colorado, who’s figured out how to build a profitable, low-stress law practice that supports my life — instead of running it. I’ve spent the last decade challenging the traditional law firm model, testing and learning what works (and what doesn’t), and creating a practice that consistently earns multiple six figures while I work part-time.
Now, I’m here to share everything I’ve learned so you can skip the burnout phase and go straight to building a business that gives you freedom, financial security, and a whole lot more joy.
When I’m not working, you’ll find me being a partner to my spouse, a mom to my daughters, reading in a cozy nook, outside soaking up the Colorado sunshine, or tending to my backyard beehive.
Let’s build your different practice.
