Q and A with Lauren M. from Chicago, Illinois, living in Jacksonville, Florida

“Having a solid circle and choosing to not give up is what got me through.”

Q: What are you passionate about?

A: I am passionate about serving others in an excellent way. I’ve been this way since I was a little girl. Today, I happen to do that via legal services as a business attorney. In this role, I help business owners protect and monetize their businesses. Through international business law, I help with setting up entities, mergers and acquisitions, trademarks, contracts, copyrights, and employee law.

I also love to travel and experience cultures. I think this yields different perspectives on life which provides a greater sense of appreciation and understanding of people. Jacksonville is where I currently reside, but I am a digital nomad, so I travel often. My business is 100% virtual.

Q: What were your younger years like?

A: My mom had a big impact on me regarding my career because she would always tell me it was good to be a doctor or a lawyer. My stepdad told me about a dream he had of me being a lawyer years later, and I was from then on set on becoming an attorney.

I was always advanced. I started school one year early and skipped a grade. This positioned me to go into high school at 12 years old and graduate high school at 16.

A funny story my family often tells me is that I was meant to be an attorney as I’ve always been outspoken. At the age of four, I was riding with a family friend and she was speeding, I told her to stop but she didn’t. Eventually, she got pulled over and was talking her way out of the ticket, when I piped up and told the officer that she in fact did know she was speeding because I told her.

Q: What is something valuable you’d like others to know?

A: I’ve learned that once you say yes to your purpose, purpose will chase you down!

I want others to know that there are no limits to the things you can achieve and do.

Even though I knew I wanted to be and felt called to be an attorney, the road to becoming an attorney was not easy. There were many moments I wanted to give up. I had a solid circle of encouragement and those who believed in me even when it didn’t feel good for me. Having a solid circle and choosing to not give up is what got me through. Anyone who puts their mind to it can do it!

Thanks for reading!

It is an honor to serve you,

Lauren Morgan, Esq.
