About Our Guest: Taylor Tieman


"I'm not your "normal" attorney. I'm a coffee-obsessed dog mom of two that loves Pilates, craft beer, and baseball (Go Dodgers!). I attended Southwestern Law School in Los Angeles, and the University of Pennsylvania prior to that. My legal background is in consumer protection law, but I found that I could better serve business owners and entrepreneurs by sharing the legal knowledge I’ve accumulated litigating against big businesses."

Taylor loves counseling and supporting female-owned businesses by sharing her own experiences as a fellow female business owner. She uses Instagram as her main marketing tool, and as a WFH queen - you can typically find her wearing yoga pants Monday through Sunday. Taylor prides herself on the fact that her clients usually become friends after showing them seeking help from an attorney should not be scary!
