Reflecting on the impact of genuine connections – I didn't know EBJ through her work; I knew her through her interactions with me personally, and how she treated people. That's what truly earned my trust in her work. It's a reminder that character holds immense value beyond professional realms. Similarly, our character, the essence of who we are, shapes every facet of our lives. It's the foundation upon which trust, respect, and meaningful connections are built. #CharacterMatters #TrustBeyondWork #PartnershipManager #RelationshipManager

For Black History Month, we’re highlighting Black individuals who’ve made a tremendous impact on civil rights and the law. Read the 5 fast facts below: 1. Black History Month was originally only a week. In 1926, academic and historian Carter G. Woodson designated a week in February to honor Black history that coincided with the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. 2. Less than 8% of law students are Black. As we pointed out earlier this month, the legal industry has a diversity problem. Of all enrolled law students in 2023, only 7.8% were Black, which is about the same as 10 years ago. 3. Macon Bolling Allen was the first Black lawyer in the U.S. Macon Bolling Allen is considered to be the first Black lawyer in the United States. Allen’s bar admission was originally denied because he was not considered to be a full U.S. citizen. 4. George Boyer Vashon was NY’s first Black attorney. Four years after Allen was admitted to the bar, New York got its first Black lawyer: George Boyer Vashon. He practiced law for a few years in Syracuse before eventually becoming Howard University’s first Black professor. 5. Constance Baker Motley was a legal legend who helped desegregate the South. Ending off the five fast facts with an absolute icon, Constance Baker Motley: the first Black woman to argue before the Supreme Court. Motley won 9 out of 10 of her Supreme Court cases, several of which were tied to desegregation efforts.

🖤Join us in celebrating Black History Month at the office! 🖤 Let's honor and recognize the countless contributions made by Black Americans throughout history. The history and experiences of Black people are an integral part of America's heritage and have shaped both our past and present. The criminal justice system has long been intertwined with the oppression of black people, from slavery to the mass incarceration we see today. As public defenders, we recognize the responsibility we hold in fighting for justice and equality for all. Black Americans face disparate treatment at every stage of the criminal process, from traffic stops to sentencing. We must remember that the U.S. Constitution, when written, excluded people of color, and racial discrimination was enforced by the courts. It is crucial for public defenders to understand this history of struggle to effectively advocate against injustice. Throughout history, people of all backgrounds have joined together to fight against injustice, and we must continue this legacy. Black history matters every day, not just in February. Together, we can work towards a more just and equal society.

The Law Office of Leah Boston, LLC is black owned and woman founded. Needless to say, this office is proud and excited to celebrate this joyous time of year. I founded this law firm to be a direct powerhouse effect not only to the community at large but to the black community in detail. Thousands of years of estate has been either taken with force, by the miseducation of others, or fraudulent dealings. It is this firm’s goal to directly impact the lives of black people. While past losses may not be possible to heal, the aim is to move forward protecting the possessions we already have. This is what keeps this firm going. Not only is black history month a moment to reflect on our past ancestral and motivating leaders, it is equally a moment to educate and prepare for our future. Black history is a powerful history with roots tied from America’s celebrations to the entire African diaspora. This office will proudly encourage, teach, support, and learn so we can be better equipped to not only understand our history’s trauma but transform it into a celebration of passion, power, prestige, strength, and PRESERVATION. Happy Black History month from the Law Office of Leah Boston, LLC #blackhistorymonth #blackexcellence #blacklivesmatter #leahdoeslaw #estateplanningattorney #wealthpreservation #legacyplanning
