In this compelling episode, two attorneys discuss the frustrations of inadequate legal representation and their dedication to providing assistance. They share personal stories that highlight the importance of quality legal help for families. This conversation emphasizes the critical need for a reliable law firm, ensuring that everyone has access to sound legal advice and compassionate representation. I never wanted to be a lawyer. But life has a way of pulling you toward the place you’re meant to be. My journey began with my brother’s legal troubles — an experience that exposed me to the painful reality of bad legal representation. Watching my family suffer because of a negligent attorney changed everything. It made me realize that no family should ever go through that again. That purpose is what led me into criminal defense. In this video, I sit down with my friend Emily Kohler to share the stories that shaped our careers in law. Together, we talk about the paths that brought us into the legal field, the emotional weight that comes with this profession, and the high-stakes responsibility that criminal defense attorneys carry every day. We look back on our time in Tulare County, where we were trained by incredible mentors and confronted the raw realities of the justice system. We discuss why understanding a client’s background and mental health is essential, and why our work is about so much more than winning cases — it’s about changing lives. If you’re considering a future in law, navigating your own legal career, or simply curious about what criminal defense looks like behind the scenes, this conversation offers an honest and powerful look into the heart of what we do. Together, we can ensure no family suffers from bad representation ever again.
