We are back with Season 2 of the Solo in South Philly Podcast. Season 2 is called "I Need a Lawyer". I will be speaking to lawyers that I reach out to when I need information or advice. You will hear from lawyers in various areas of the law. Please give it a listen, you may learn something, or know who to call if you are in need of a lawyer.

Thank you to all my guests as well as those who helped me produce Season 1 of Solo in South Philly. This episode is a recap of the lessons learned from my guests about law school and their legal careers.
