Case No. 001: Welcome aboard
All rise. Court is adjourned
and the gate is boarding.
I'm a practicing lawyer who never turned down a red-eye. Layover Lawyer is where I file dispatches from the road: the good flights, the bad layovers, and the destinations worth the PTO request.
The Docket
Recent filings from the road
No Objections in Venice
A gondola ride, a plate of clams by the canal, and a closing argument for the most romantic city on the docket.
A Motion for Lake Como
Boats, bell towers, and villages stacked up the hillside in every shade of terracotta. The verdict: worth every bit of the hype.
Closing Arguments Above the Clouds
Pizza at the edge of an infinity pool, jagged peaks as the backdrop. Some views don't need cross-examination.

Practicing law by day.
Building a case for travel by night.
I never planned to become "the lawyer who travels." It just happened one overbooked flight at a time. Now I'm turning years of layovers, work trips, and hard-won packing lessons into a business built to get you out the door faster than I did.
Passed the bar. Packed a bag.
Started practicing law, and started collecting boarding passes on the side.
The layover that changed everything
A delayed connection turned into an unplanned love letter to a city I'd never have visited on purpose.
Layover Lawyer goes public
Started writing it all down, for the friends who kept asking "wait, how did you plan that trip?"
