Accredited Financial Counselor @Jessica Medina, Llc

Asheville, NC, US

I\'m a lawyer turned Accredited Financial Counselor® helping attorneys align their finances with their values so they can pursue more fulfilling careers, not just bigger paychecks.I work one-on-one with practicing and former lawyers who are ready to leave traditional career paths for something more meaningful: a nonprofit role, a pivot to policy or in-house work, a return to school, or the launch of a solo business. Together, we create financial strategies that support those bold decisions — and the long-term life they’re building.Beyond private coaching, I regularly speak on financial wellness for lawyers. I’ve delivered live workshops and virtual webinars at AmLaw 100 firms, the D.C. Bar, NYC Bar, Minnesota Bar, California Lawyers Association, and smaller firms prioritizing attorney well-being. My most requested topics include: SMART Money Moves: A Framework for Financial Wellness Money Mindset for Lawyers Student Loan Repayment Strategies First Gen Attorney Finances Balancing the New Lawyer Budget (for first years and summer associates) Financial Balance for Legal Professionals (firm-wide program) Since launching my practice, I’ve coached over 100 attorneys individually and reached hundreds more through firm programs and national webinars. My clients have paid off six-figure student loan debt, exited BigLaw with confidence, launched passion-driven businesses, and built transition plans that support both stability and freedom.If you’re looking for a financial coach who speaks lawyer — or a speaker who can make money talk practical, judgment-free, and truly useful for attorneys — visit for more information.
