Before founding MLG, Diana dreamt of creating a workplace that mirrored the empowering support she offered her clients. Diana considered what was missing in the legal community, particularly for women, that left attorneys feeling neither happy or satisfied, nor working a way that aligned with their values. Diana yearned for a space where flexibility, shared values, and joy danced hand-in-hand.
Thus, MLG blossomed. Diana hired carefully in creating MLG, and is proud of her dedicated team of top-tier attorneys and staff. We take pride in our expertise and our fierce commitment to each other and our clients. While perfection eludes us all, you'll hear a common theme from our team: passion for the work we do, a deep appreciation for each other and for Diana, who recognizes her team as her most valuable asset.
This is our philosophy, our raison d'être. Visit www.joyinthelaw.com to delve deeper into the passion that fuels our fire.
Our Mission
We believe healthy workplaces are the foundation for creating effective social and personal change, one happy employee at a time. By fostering joy and trust in the workplace, we help employers:
Minimize conflict and risk. When employees feel valued and engaged, they naturally work hard and view their employer as a partner rather than an adversary. Lawsuits are unnecessary. Communication flows.
Attract and retain top talent. Great workplaces attract star performers.
Build resilient teams. Investing in employees means creating teams who can make positive use of conflict and other challenging situations, instead of leading to unhappiness and lawsuits.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM US
You should expect to feel that MLG cares about you as a person, and the business that you own or work for. MLG's clients share basic values with the firm, such as treating people well, making a positive imprint on the world, and always striving to improve. For more on our core values, please click here.
You should expect MLG to be responsive to your needs. Generally, you will get a response within 24 hours, and often right away. Even on nights and weekends, if something is truly urgent, a member of the MLG team will likely be available to speak with you.
You should expect the highest quality legal advice: cogent, easy to understand, and human-centric. Our input is tempered with a sense of your company’s culture, so that the advice we lend is not offered in a vacuum, but takes into consideration your specific goals, ways of doing things, and risk tolerance.
You should expect fair and efficient billing. If you have a question about the bill or believe we have made an error, please speak up. We are transparent in our billing and will engage in open dialogue if you have concerns. We almost always reduce our invoices if our clients feel particular work was inefficient or unexpected.
You should expect excellent customer service all around. When you give us input, we work to accommodate your requests and needs. We own our mistakes and understand that even the best businesses make them. We are humble. If you see a way we could do things better, let us know. We listen and learn from our mistakes.
You should expect an attorney-client engagement letter that’s clear and lays out our ethical obligations. Likewise, you should expect MLG to observe the highest ethical practices.
WHAT WE EXPECT FROM YOU
You speak up about what you need. If you have a concern with how we are doing something or the advice you received, please do not hesitate to have that conversation with us. We are partners with you and MLG can’t do its best job without your input and willingness to be candid.
You contact us when things happen in the organization that might affect our advice. Ideally you contact us as large changes are being contemplated so that we can offer input when needed, and so that we’re in the know about major changes affecting company culture.
You are honest with us and tell us the bad as well as the good. You give us a full sense of the facts and are willing to tell the truth in a court of law, a deposition, or mediation, even when it’s ostensibly harmful to do so. MLG does not believe cutting ethical corners is needed for our clients to get strong results.
You pay your bills on time.
