  • Legal Navigation Support

    Legal Navigation Support is best described as a relationship-based, deeply engaged lawyer referral service. This support is offered in recognition that navigating the law and finding legal support can be very difficult for those of us who come from underrepresented, marginalized, and disenfranchised communities. In performing this service, we open up space to have confidential conversations about sensitive legal issues, in an effort to find you the right legal support and lawyer.

  • Native and Indigenous Legal Practitioner Pathway

    Our work in this area is intended to support the pathway for Native and Indigenous students to pursue careers in the legal field, using a community-based approach that strengthens and activates relationships with educational institutions, non-profit organizations, law firms, and the judiciary. This includes discussions and presentations to expose students to careers in the law, guidance and mentorship while pursuing legal education, and community building within the legal profession.

  • PRO BONO: Name and Gender Change Support for Adoptees and Former Foster Youth

    We recognize the importance of having documents that reflect the person you know yourself to be. We also understand the trauma triggers and pain that a Name Change or Gender Change process can cause for people who have been relinquished for adoption, involved in the foster care system, or separated from biological family and community. This service ensures thoughtful, compassionate, validating, and empowering support.

  • "In my experience with Molly, she has shown to be much more than a legal advisor but an advocate. Her expertise with dealing with small minority firms has been very beneficial in helping not only my business, but other small businesses continue to fight for an equitable future where all people can have a voice. I’m proud to continue to work with someone with integrity who truly cares and is fighting for what is right."

    - Jeffrey Moreland, Jr. of Raimore Construction

  • "I have worked with Molly in both her legal capacity and in her advocacy rolls at NAMC, and anytime I have needed help in either capacity (which there have been many) she has done so unconditionally. Her commitment to connect with her clients to truly understand their needs is impressive, and I would recommend her to any of my colleagues."

    - Ryan McDonald of McDonald Excavating Inc.

  • "Molly was an incredible support and resource to me at a time where it felt impossible to navigate the legal system. She was understanding, thoughtful, clear, and calming throughout the process. I would have been completely lost without her support."

  • "I have been working with Molly since I opened my business. I cannot express how much she has helped me grow my business in a healthy way. She is always there to assist and advocate in sensitive situations. She has also been very proactive in recognizing and mitigating risks."

    Eric Martinez of Nexus Electrical Group

  • "I just want to let you know, I read over and over the notes. And this morning I was able to ask my son's lawyer the questions, and she was glad to hear what I had to say. I am eternally thankful for you Molly for the time you gave yesterday, because of it, I was able to communicate better today with the lawyer."
