The Only Law Firm
with Mental Health Strategists
The legal system is stressful, and most legal teams are completely unequipped to ease the suffering of the clients they serve. We fixed that.
At Hemmat Law, we have a dedicated team of legally-specialized strategists and life coaches baked right into our core service offerings.
Who our mental health coaches can help
Why we did this:
We admit it: attorneys are terrible at making people feel good. It just isn’t in our skillset.
We are expensive to talk to, and we also aren’t trained as mental health professionals. This is a lose-lose scenario: with clients hurt that their attorney seems to never make them feel better, and the attorney frustrated that the client treats them like a therapist.
Likewise, many actual therapists and Licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHC) have limited exposure to the legal system and often lack the insight to help guide clients through legal processes.
With an in-house mental health team tied to a law firm, we make everyone’s lives easier.
Confidential
Thinking about a separation, but don’t want your therapy notes to be used against you in court? Our coaches are protected by attorney-client confidentiality, unlike all other mental health professionals.
Flexible
Not sure whether you want to move forward with a big change? Hire us and work with our relationship coaches before you spend money initiating your case – to make sure the transition is right for you.

How this benefits you: Greatly lower your legal costs.
Clients that work with a strategist or counselor no longer feel the need to vent to their attorney about (legally) irrelevant emotional topics. Work with your much cheaper strategist, and let your attorney focus on what they can solve – your legal problems. Everyone wins.
Lower your stress levels.
Having a dedicated legal team member whose only responsibility is to be responsive to your emotional needs is a game changer. Help take the wight off your shoulders.
Improve communications with your team.
Your strategist will help you bridge the communication gap that so often confuses the attorney/client relationship. When we know more about your concerns, we can be more effective counsel.
How this benefits us: Improved work product.
When our clients have their head in the game, they get us information faster & more clearly. This allows us to prepare more compelling arguments, and craft better long-term strategies for your success.
We focus on what we are good at:
We want to do our jobs. The more we can concentrate on the task at hand, the better a job we can do for you and your case. No matter how good we are as attorneys, it is difficult to manage unhappy clients.
It makes us happier:
We care for our clients, and believe it or not, working in an industry of suffering rubs off on our team over time. The more our leadership can do to care of our clients, the better it is for our team members.
Client Retention:
Believe it or not, a lot of attorneys get fired by their clients before their case concludes. Sometimes it is deserved, but sometimes, the client is more unhappy with the faults in the legal system, or the quirks of how legal nuances are communicated or adjudicated. Without a counselor to help bridge that gap, they impose needless costs or risks on themselves by switching counsel in the middle of their case.

Strategist FAQs
Absolutely not. This service is open to anyone and anyone.
Costs vary. But generally, your coach charges less than our paralegals – and way less than an attorney.
Additionally, all of HLG’s client’s who work with a coach usually see their fees drop significantly because they stop venting to their attorney about (legally) irrelevant aspects of their case.
Either way, mental healthcare is absolutely worth the investment for everyone’s sake.
Our counseling team’s priority is to help you discover yourself and make good decisions – not to get you to spend money on legal bills. In fact, we would prefer it if you never needed us at all.
Sadly, not at this time. We only work with individuals.
