Episode 34

In this episode of the Circle of Trust Podcast, hosted by law firm CMO Keith Dyer and sponsored by LEXGRO, Keith interviews Rashida Sims, founder of Belle Legal, a virtual firm based in DC serving bankruptcy clients in DC and Maryland and handling veterans' disability appeals nationwide.

Rashida shares her non-traditional path from mental health counseling and child protective services to law after seeing the impact a special education attorney made for a client. She discusses attending law school in Arkansas, becoming a public defender in Wisconsin, then working for the government and a private veterans law firm before starting her own practice in late 2022 to gain more control and work-life balance.

The conversation focuses on challenges of learning business, marketing, SEO, and CRMs, resources she’s used, and Keith’s suggestions for SEO, Google Business Profile, ads, and content strategies.
