  • Candid conversations

    I loved the interview with Alan Fowler on criminal defense in Florida. I loved how he pivoted from representing restaurant people to criminal defense. “I found that it was too many practice areas. It was too hard to be good at that many things.”

    Great insight as to what lawyers do on a week to week/‘day to day’ basis! They try to help those of us that are considering a legal career by offering a thorough look at different fields of legal practice. Could have helped thousands of law students a couple years ago. Grateful to have it now!
