This month, we’re honored to recognize Stephen Gee as our Dad, Esq. Lawyer Dad of the Month. Stephen is not just a skilled attorney—he’s a devoted husband to Rachel and a present, loving father to two incredible sons: Alexander (6) and Benjamin (4 months). Alexander is autistic and sees the world through a different lens—a lens filled with curiosity, sensitivity, and vibrant insight. He shines brightly, reminding everyone around him that different isn’t less. It’s just…different. And often, beautifully so. Stephen embraces Alexander’s perspective with patience, purpose, and pride. He shows up not only as a provider, but as a protector, teacher, and advocate. In the courtroom, he stands up for his clients. At home, he stands by his son—navigating challenges, celebrating milestones, and helping his family thrive. His example is a powerful reminder that being a great dad isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about being fully present, open-hearted, and willing to grow alongside your children. We’re proud to highlight Stephen this month and grateful for Lawyer Dads like him who embody strength, humility, and love.
