ABOUT THE OWNERS

Attorney J. Carter and Attorney Jessica Tehlirian formed the legal professional organization in 2018 after launching the viral Instagram page in 2017. They both shared the similar sentiment and experience that as young, attractive, black female attorneys they were not always taken as seriously by their more traditional legal counterparts. Both attorneys wanted to create a platform where non traditional legal professionals could be both celebrated and empowered with the tools they needed to enter law school and have sustaining legal careers especially those from underrepresented communities such as minorities, immigrants, women and LGBTQ. 

​ “I wanted to debunk the idea that if you look a certain way you are not capable of  being an attorney."
~Jessica Tehlirian   

“In this social media age, being a model, rapper, singer or reality star seems to be what  is only celebrated. I want to show the younger generation it’s also still cool to have a  traditional career like a lawyer and make a meaningful impact on the world and still  look good while doing it.”

~J. Carter 

All my life I felt like I had to choose between being a professional and being beautiful. I feared that if I allowed my outer beauty to be exposed people would not take me seriously as a lawyer. I will soon be in practice for four years and at this stage in my career I have come to accept both sides of myself. I created this website to showcase other attorneys that are not only outwardly attractive, but that are full of substance as well. I wanted to debunk the idea that if you look a certain way you are not capable of being an attorney. My hope for this website is that it will help remove some of these stereotypes.

With the invention of social media, it appears people (especially women) are only glorified and promoted in society solely based on looks or what relationships they are in.  My goal in joining Jessica to launch Lawyer BAE LLC was to show the world that looks are great but having an education and goals are even better!  We hope this website will support and promote other stylish attractive legal professionals that are committed to business and entrepreneurship!
