Been There Got Out Podcast

Advocating for Yourself... with Your Own Attorney


Listen Later

There's something truly magnetic about the moment when shared passions and memories intertwine — like the one we had with our friend and colleague David Morneau, a "recovering litigator" with a heart as big as his legal pad. Together, we took a stroll down memory lane, reliving our collaborative ventures and the joy that filled the room during our book launch, where David's foreword sparked conversations and admiration. Our latest exchange, however, wasn't just a trip through nostalgia; it was a masterclass in self-advocacy. With a dash of humor and an 11-point list colored by a charming U.S.-Canada conversion mix-up, David handed over the keys to ensuring you're treated as the human being you are in the eyes of your attorney.

Navigating the legal labyrinth doesn't come with a one-size-fits-all map, but this episode sheds light on the essentials, guiding you through the selection of an attorney aligned with your values and objectives. We discuss the overburdened justice system's preoccupation with victories over values, and make a case for methods like mediation that inject compassion back into legal proceedings. We pull back the curtain on the empowering shift from victimhood to self-actualization within legal disputes, advocating for a personalized approach in finding the legal counsel that resonates with your unique narrative.

The final bend in our conversation brings us to the doorstep of family law and the emotional landscape that often casts a long shadow over legalities. With a vision of a more empathetic court system, we unpack the need for systemic change and the role of various professionals in crafting a holistic solution to family law cases. Tune in to absorb the wisdom, wit, and warmth that only a conversation among friends can provide!
