Leading with Strength: DAWN as a Women-Led Family Law Firm in Metro Detroit
At D.A.W.N. (Divorce Attorneys for Women’s Needs), we are proudly women-led. We believe the best legal representation is grounded in strength, compassion, and leadership. From the attorneys in the courtroom to the team behind the scenes managing operations, D.A.W.N. is guided by women who understand the unique challenges our clients face—legally, emotionally, and personally.
💼 What It Means to Be Women-Led
Being a women-led law firm means that the voices shaping strategy, client experience, and case outcomes are overwhelmingly female. That leadership shows up in every layer of our work. Our team of attorneys is predominantly female, bringing empathy, legal expertise, and fierce advocacy to every case they handle.
This alignment of women in leadership roles has created a supportive, transparent, and client-focused culture at D.A.W.N., with a particular understanding of what women go through during divorce, custody disputes, and other family law challenges.
💬 Representation Matters—Especially in Family Law
The work we do is deeply personal. Divorce and custody cases aren’t just about paperwork and courtrooms—they’re about homes, children, safety, and a woman’s ability to build a new future. That’s why it matters who’s representing you.
At D.A.W.N., our attorneys don’t just practice family law—they live it with our clients, walking beside them through every stage of the process. Our leadership understands the emotional and financial pressure many women face, and we strive to be not just legal advocates but a source of clarity and confidence.

How to Choose the Right Divorce Attorney:
When you’re facing divorce, one of the most important decisions you’ll make is choosing the right attorney. This isn’t just a legal process—it’s a deeply personal journey that requires both expertise and support. In a recent podcast appearance, Kelsey Minor, Managing Partner at D.A.W.N., shared her guidance on what to look for when selecting divorce representation that meets both your legal and emotional needs.
Mother’s Day is often portrayed in soft pastels and warm breakfasts in bed. But for many women, especially married mothers, this day can feel complicated — even hollow. Behind the handmade cards and fleeting moments of celebration lies a deeper, often invisible weight: the mental, emotional, and physical load of motherhood.
Many women find themselves quietly shouldering the bulk of domestic responsibilities, emotional labor, and decision-making — even while sharing a home and a life with a partner. From managing school schedules, doctor’s appointments, grocery lists, emotional support for the children, birthdays, laundry, and remembering to RSVP to the neighbor’s party, the list is endless. This phenomenon is known as cognitive load, and it doesn’t always divide evenly, even in a so-called partnership.
The hardest part? Feeling like a single mom while technically married. It’s a silent truth many women carry with grace and guilt, often brushing it off with a smile. But it’s okay to name the imbalance. It’s okay to say, “I’m exhausted,” even if your partner means well.
This Mother’s Day, we invite women to reflect — not just on how much they do, but on what they need. Sometimes that means having a candid conversation. Sometimes it means asking for more help. And sometimes, it means considering different paths, redefining what partnership and peace really look like for you.
To all the mothers carrying more than your share — we see you. You are not alone. You deserve rest, recognition, and a life that honors your strength and your softness.
Happy Mother’s Day.

President Biden believes that every American should have access to affordable health insurance and has made a vow to protect it under his new leadership. This could mean offering a public health insurance option similar to Medicare, increasing the value of tax credits to lower premiums, and extending coverage to lower-income Americans.
