AUSTIN ATTORNEY MS. CONGER HONORED BY TEXAS BAR FOUNDATION

Thank you to the Texas Bar Foundation for my recent selection as a Fellow to your organization, and re-affirming the magnitude of individual effort. When I opened The Law Office of Nicole Conger, PLLC, I made a vow to take aim at anyone who threatened to disrupt the progress of women, people of color, certain religious affiliations, age, and the LGBT community. While institutions have the power and authority to influence behavior, it is humankind who challenge discrimination, innovate through experiment, offer multicultural perspectives, and speak openly about new ideas. In a various spectrum, diversity is about how we relate, connect, and share basic human rights with one another. When clients come to me, they often feel trapped in chaos, fear, or anger. I see through their pages of history, and remind them that rebels, prodigals, delicate, misunderstood, and unnoticed people need a voice. In focusing and educating my clients on current issues, I stand up against attacks on LGBT individuals, sexual harassment, any consciousness of stereotyping, and even a grain of ignorance in the workplace.

Leaders come to the table from the evolution of noteworthy mentors. I profoundly appreciate the support of the Austin Bar Association, the Austin Young Lawyers Association, Texas Employment Lawyers Association, the Austin Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, AIDS Services of Austin, The Kind Clinic, the Human Rights Campaign, family, friends, dreamers, and believers. We have the power of leverage, in the multiplier effect by all of our individual actions.

While my clients’ journeys usually end at the gate to the next chapter in life, the marathon towards freedom and equality never ceases. My story is merely one example of one human helping another, where through my own persistence, a domino effect ignites an indefinite amount of hope to spread and never become depleted. You too, can do extraordinary things and are a unique star in life.
