In this episode of Lawyers Who Care, host Andrew Samalin welcomes Mia Poppe, founding and managing partner of Poppe & Associates, a leading matrimonial and divorce law firm with offices in Midtown Manhattan and White Plains, New York. Mia shares her incredible journey from a 22-year career in banking to becoming one of New York’s most dedicated family law attorneys.

Mia is a relentless advocate who takes her clients’ battles personally. Known for her southern pragmatism blended with a strong nurturing instinct, Mia brings both strength and compassion to high-stakes divorce and custody cases. Her clients aren’t just cases—they often become lifelong friends.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• How Mia transitioned from banking executive to matrimonial attorney.

• Why she believes divorce law “found her.”

• The shocking story of a client who temporarily lost custody due to a fake passport scheme—and how Mia fought tirelessly to set things right.

Mia’s message is clear: “Liars always go too far. Just wait for it—the truth will always unravel in front of the judge.”
