Next Episode: 73. #FEMSQUIRE Series: Law Firm Mentor Allison C. Williams, Esq.

Melaney LaGrone is a legal chameleon.  The law in various forms has been her calling.  She started out as a police officer in Detroit, walking the beat (back when cops actually had a beat).  When she filled her cup as a police officer, she moved on to law school, ultimately relocating to Atlanta to spend some time at the Prosecutor's Office before hanging a shingle.  Today she is the Atlanta Men's Law Firm with a focus on criminal defense and immigration.  But she's not done.  Melaney talks about her vision for the future which may bridge the gap between law enforcement and the community.  You'll hear how in this episode, as well as Melaney's why.
