Job: turn "a law firm" into "these specific trustworthy people" — the firm, the attorneys, the team, and the recognition, all in one place

Page intro
breadcrumb · eyebrow
1Intro names the positioning from the onboarding session: the professionalism and expertise of a big firm with the heart of a smaller one (Rebekah's framing, which Jenny endorsed). The intro copy itself is unwritten — bars only — and will be drafted from that line, then approved by Jenny.

2The firm's story leads the page, before any individual — "big firm professionalism, small firm heart." Three working principles that separate McMenomy Law from the bigger shops in town. People come second on purpose: the firm is the thing being hired.
02 — Attorneys (full profile blocks)
portrait — professional session
attorney · firm owner

Jennifer McMenomy

education · bar admissions · memberships University of Nevada, Reno Nevada State Bar · California State Bar

portrait — professional session
associate attorney

Paulina Williams, Esq.

education · bar admissions · memberships content needed — not yet supplied
3Two attorneys, two full profile blocks. Jenny leads — background, UNR education, local Reno roots, dual bar admissions (NV + CA). Written like a person, not a CV. One human line at the end (a hobby, a quirk). Credibility and warmth in the same breath.
4Paulina gets the same block treatment as Jenny — she is an attorney, not staff, and clients need to see that before a matter is handed to her. Her education, bar admissions and bio copy have not been supplied yet; the dashed box marks what we still need from the firm.
03 — Team (shorter cards)

5Staff get real billing, not a footnote. Shorter cards than the attorneys: name, role, two lines. Enough to be a person, not so much that it competes with the attorney blocks above.
6Photography requirement for this page: five individual headshots plus one group shot, all from a single art-directed session so the whole firm reads as one firm — same arch crop, same lighting, same background. Mixed-source portraits are the fastest way to make a small firm look improvised.

7Awards live here, not on a page of their own. The rule: awards are named exactly as the granting organization named them — including "Top Ranked Attorney," where the attorney is the named recipient; reporting an award accurately is a fact, not a comparative claim. What the firm's own copy never does is extrapolate an award into a superlative — no "award-winning attorney" as positioning, no headline built on an award, no badge implying more than was granted. Nevada RPC governs comparative claims in our language; Jenny approves the final wording either way. Group A can ship on day one.
8Group B is embargoed. Four 2026 results cannot be named, described, or badged until a release date that is not yet confirmed. Placeholder art only until then. The layout holds four slots so nothing has to move when the embargo lifts.
9The three excerpts above are a taste, not the evidence — the link beneath them goes to the full Reviews page (screen 06), which is a real page kept out of the navigation on purpose. About and the homepage trust band are its only two doors.
05 — Generosity slot (content from Jenny)
placeholder — Jenny supplies the specifics
photo — subject TBD by Jenny
10This slot holds the "generous" pillar, and its content comes from Jenny, not from us. Her words in the onboarding session: generosity is "a big cornerstone of my time and resources." That is the whole of what we know — what she gives time and resources to is hers to name, and nothing here says an organization, award, or program until she does. If she'd rather this not be a section at all, it comes out and the page closes with awards.
11Question for Jenny — this is a question, not a recommendation. In the onboarding session you described defending Safe Embrace, the domestic violence shelter, against neighbors who invoked 1960s CC&Rs that also contained racial covenants — two and a half years of litigation, won on summary judgment, and in your words "probably one of my proudest." Are you able and willing to have that matter named on the site — here, or on the Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions page? [RPC 1.6 — client consent required; Jenny's call, not ours.] If the answer is no, nothing else on this page changes.
