Lawyers Without Billboards

In Part 2 of our discussion of the Lautenberg Amendment, the Lawyers Without Billboards team turns from what the law does to the practical question: How can a domestic violence case affect your gun rights, and what can happen before a federal firearms prohibition is triggered?

Steve, Patty, Jimmy and Alexa discuss the important differences between criminal domestic violence charges and civil protective orders, how temporary protective orders can affect firearm possession, and why the way a criminal case is resolved can have consequences far beyond the courtroom.

The team also digs into diversion programs, dismissals, plea negotiations, and United States v. Hayes, including why the factual basis behind a plea can matter even when the name of the offense does not sound like a domestic violence charge.

As always, the discussion comes with an important reminder: serious domestic violence allegations require serious legal attention, and avoiding Lautenberg starts with avoiding domestic violence in the first place.

When two people walk into court with completely different versions of what happened, how does a judge decide who to believe?

In Part 3 of our courtroom objections series, the Lawyers Without Billboards team tackles character evidence, credibility, relevance, and the rules that determine what a court should and shouldn’t hear.

We break down when a witness can testify about someone’s reputation for truthfulness, why specific bad acts usually can’t be used simply to prove bad character, and how cross-examination can sometimes open the door to evidence that otherwise wouldn’t come in.

The conversation also covers relevance in family law, including why something that happened years ago may have little bearing on the case today, plus objections involving misstating testimony, assuming facts not in evidence, and questions that aren’t being asked in good faith.

Then we get into Rule 403 and the balancing act between evidence that is genuinely probative and evidence that may be unfairly prejudicial, cumulative, confusing, or misleading.

Plus, the team shares a few courtroom stories, including gruesome crime-scene evidence, a defendant posing with guns, and why lawyers sometimes need to cross-examine their own clients before anyone ever gets near a c

What happens when a divorce settlement collides with bankruptcy law?

Bankruptcy attorney Shayna Steinfeld joins Steve, Jimmy, and Alexa to unpack the surprisingly complicated intersection between family law, debt, property settlements, support obligations, and bankruptcy.

Shayna explains why a divorce decree may determine obligations between former spouses but does not necessarily prevent a bankruptcy trustee or creditors from pursuing assets later. The conversation covers everything from jointly owned homes and business debt to indemnification clauses, Chapter 7 versus Chapter 13, and the difference between a property settlement and an obligation considered “in the nature of support.”

They also discuss practical ways family lawyers can better protect clients when drafting settlement agreements, what happens when one spouse files bankruptcy after divorce, and why bankruptcy issues often require specialized counsel.

Along the way, Shayna shares her path into bankruptcy law, her experience as one of the relatively few attorneys working at the intersection of bankruptcy and family law, and how her career developed during a time when women were still significantly underrepresented in legal practice.

Hearsay is one of the most misunderstood concepts in the courtroom, but the rule comes with a long list of exceptions.

In this episode of Lawyers Without Billboards, Alexa, Steve, Patty and Jimmy dig into the hearsay exceptions lawyers actually use, from present sense impressions and excited utterances to medical statements, recorded recollections, property records, ancient documents and even deathbed statements.

The team also talks about how these exceptions show up in real family law cases, why admissibility and credibility are two very different things and why good trial lawyers should always assume the other side is going to object.

And yes, somehow diaries, light bulbs and 20-year-old emails all make an appearance.

Can child support really be unconstitutional? According to some corners of TikTok, Instagram and the internet, the answer is yes.

There’s just one problem: that isn’t what the law says.

In this episode of Lawyers Without Billboards, Steve, Patty, Jimmy and Alexa dig into one of the stranger child support claims circulating online: that a Minnesota Supreme Court case supposedly ruled child support unconstitutional.

Patty explains what the case actually decided, why the claim has been badly distorted online and how misinformation can turn into very expensive legal trouble when people try to use it in a real courtroom.

The team also takes a look at a $279 “child support discharge” packet complete with courtroom scripts, “living man” language and arguments that sound suspiciously familiar to the sovereign citizen world.

They also discuss:

• Where child support laws came from
• What the Minnesota Supreme Court actually ruled
• Why child support itself was not declared unconstitutional
• Whether child support can be legally “discharged”
• Why internet legal scripts can backfire badly in court
• Common misconceptions involving VA disability and child support
• Why people often search online for the answer they want instead of the law that actually applies

If you’ve ever seen a reel, video or website promising a secret legal loophole that makes child support disappear, this episode is worth a listen.

A misdemeanor does not always mean minor consequences.

In this episode of Lawyers Without Billboards, Steve, Patty, Jimmy and Alexa break down the Lautenberg Amendment and how a domestic violence conviction can affect a person’s right to possess firearms under federal law.

The conversation starts with the Second Amendment and the broader question of how far the government can go in regulating firearm ownership. From there, the team traces the law from the Gun Control Act of 1968 through the 1996 Lautenberg Amendment, which expanded federal firearm restrictions to certain misdemeanor domestic violence convictions and eliminated exemptions that had previously applied to members of the military and law enforcement.

They also discuss constructive possession, why the exact name of the criminal charge may not determine whether federal firearm restrictions apply, and the importance of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in United States v. Hayes.

For military members, law enforcement officers, attorneys and anyone facing a domestic violence charge, the consequences can extend far beyond the courtroom

What does a judge really want to see when attorneys and litigants walk into the courtroom?

In this episode of Lawyers Without Billboards, Steve Shewmaker, Jimmy Lewis and Alexa Lewis sit down with Judge Robert Walker of Gwinnett County for a candid conversation about family law, courtroom professionalism and nearly two decades on the bench.

Judge Walker shares his path from the University of Florida College of Law to eight years as an Air Force JAG officer, where he worked both prosecution and defense, followed by time in the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office and private practice before becoming a Gwinnett County magistrate judge in 2008.

The conversation turns to the realities of domestic cases, why resolving issues before trial matters, when mediation makes sense and what Judge Walker wants attorneys to remember when emotions run high in family court.

Plus, Jimmy recalls one of his earliest hearings in front of Judge Walker, the group talks about what makes the Gwinnett County courts unique, and Judge Walker weighs in on A Few Good Men, My Cousin Vinny, Animal House, Star Trek vs. Star Wars and life outside the courtroom.

What happens when bankruptcy crashes into a divorce case?

Bankruptcy attorney Ian Falcone joins Steve, Patty and Alexa to explain how bankruptcy can affect divorce proceedings, support obligations, property settlements, attorney’s fees, joint debt and real estate.

Ian breaks down the differences between Chapters 7, 11, 12 and 13, then explains one of the most important concepts in bankruptcy law: the automatic stay. The group discusses what may pause when bankruptcy is filed during a divorce, what can continue and why the answer often depends heavily on the facts.

They also explore whether child support, alimony, extracurricular expenses, car payments, attorney’s fees and other divorce-related obligations can be discharged. Ian explains why simply labeling something “support” may not make it support in bankruptcy court and why carefully drafted settlement agreements and indemnification provisions matter.

Finally, Ian shares a critical warning for divorce attorneys and spouses dealing with real estate: when a house is titled in only one spouse’s name, filing a lis pendens early may help protect the other spouse’s interest if bankruptcy is later filed.

A parenting plan is more than a calendar. It determines how parents will make major decisions, where children will spend their time and how everyday parenting will work after a divorce.

In this episode of Lawyers Without Billboards, Steve, Patty, Jimmy and Alexa break down what goes into a Georgia parenting plan, including legal custody, final decision-making authority, regular parenting schedules and the growing variety of 50/50 custody arrangements.

They explain the differences between week-on/week-off, 2-2-5-5 and 2-2-3 schedules, why some arrangements create more confusion than stability and how work schedules, school locations, commuting distances and a child’s age can affect what is practical.

The team also discusses why there may be no true “standard” parenting schedule and why parents should focus less on counting days and more on creating a plan that genuinely works for their children.
