As a Big Law attorney based in New York, Jeremy Fischbach says he had a front-row seat to a mental health crisis.

“I would say that 95% of the lawyers I knew were unhappy. Two-thirds or more were suffering from isolation, depression or substance abuse,” said Fischbach, who graduated from Princeton University in 2000 with a B.A. in psychology before getting his J.D. from New York University in 2009.

Six years later, Fischbach is a Big Law refugee who practices law in New Orleans, working for the alternative, virtual legal service provider InCloudCounsel. But on the side, he has launched an app designed to help lawyers cope with their mental health issues, offering them a sorely needed compassionate ear—something not easily found at law firms.
