Welcome! My name is Anna Piel. I’m a lawyer and the mom of two teenage girls (God help me!), one high-maintenance dog, and two plump guinea pigs. I practice law on a part-time basis in the area of insurance defense with an emphasis on first-party coverage issues. My practice includes appellate work as well. So, yes, I’m a complete nerd! Additionally, I love volunteering for my kids’ activities and at our Methodist church. I’ve worn hats as a band mom, dance mom, academic coach, grade representative, and a variety of other positions. I’ve been married 20 years to my husband, Andrew, who is a construction law attorney and mediator. He is a highly active volunteer for our city and community. North Texas is the backdrop for this crazy life of ours.

In the 21 years I’ve been practicing law, I’ve worked in several capacities. Before kids came along, I held a full-time, partnership-track job. I remained in that capacity for over a year after having my first daughter in 2003. I worked the same job but in a part-time role when she was a toddler. In 2006, I stayed at home for a year and a half with a newborn and a three-nager. I re-entered the workforce in 2007 into a part-time position when my girls were a toddler and a preschooler. Since then, I’ve continued to work part-time, and I wouldn’t change a thing even now that they’re teenagers. I may not be a partner at a firm, but everyone’s definition of success is different. I have my daughters’ respect as a mom and as a professional, and that’s success in my book!

I believe that as women lawyers and moms, we are all pioneers and have a lot to teach our profession. Every one of our successes blazes a trail for others to follow. I hope you find your own trail, and that you can come here to connect and find support from other moms.
