Setting Boundaries as a Young Lawyer: "And being able to discern what you can do, what you can't do, what you should do, and what you shouldn't do as you start practice." - Steve PalmerI'm sharing a lesson that stuck with me from right after my own law school days: a lawyer is not a bus. Troy and I dive into what that really means—why you don't have to stop for every client, why saying “no” can save your career, and how vital it is to set boundaries, especially when you're just getting started or when family and friends come calling for favors.We talk candidly about the challenges you face outside the classroom, like handling “can't you just…” requests, resisting the temptation to take every case (even for Aunt Joanne!), and balancing the desire to help with the realities of making a living. I draw from my own war stories and mistakes so you can avoid the same pitfalls—particularly around ethical responsibilities, pro bono work, and the constant pressure to do more than you should.Here are 3 key takeaways from the episode:Lawyers aren't obligated to take every case. Just because someone asks (even Aunt Joanne!) doesn't mean you have to say yes. Saying “no” — and setting healthy boundaries — is vital to avoid overcommitment and professional pitfalls.Beware of the “Can't You Just...” Trap. Clients (and family) will often push for free or heavily discounted legal help, asking, “Can't you just write a letter?” These situations rarely end well and can drain your time, energy, and resources.Pro bono is a choice, not an obligation. While giving back is important, the decision to do pro bono work should be yours. Don't let guilt or pressure dictate when, how, or for whom you volunteer your services.Moments00:00 Understanding Professional Ethics in Law04:29 Right to Decline Client Representation08:41 Learning to Say No in Law10:37 "Recognizing Problematic Client Cases"13:31 Doing God's Work vs. Paid Work16:59 "No Guarantees, Only Effort"22:25 "Lawyer's Time Is Valuable"24:58 Selective Pro Bono Participation26:45 Not My Area of ExpertiseSubmit your questions to www.lawyertalkpodcast.com.Recorded at Channel 511.Stephen E.

Who doesn't like beer? Lots of people, apparently. As Americans sought to remedy the ills plaguing their society, beer was caught in the cross hairs. We tell the story of how the American beer industry rose to defend itself against Progressive Era reforms in a decades-long fight.

“Can I appeal my conviction or sentence if I pleaded guilty?” I break down the realities of what happens when you plead guilty, how that decision limits your rights on appeal, and whether there's any hope of changing your sentence after the fact.I'll walk you through real-world scenarios I've seen in Ohio courts, explain the “magic words” judges have to say when handing down sentences, and why it's rarely a home run to challenge a sentence after a guilty plea. If you're thinking, “I'll just appeal if I don't like my sentence,” you'll want to hear my candid advice before heading down that road. Top 3 Takeaways:A guilty plea is a total admission: Once you plead guilty, the court and everyone else in the process will treat you as guilty, both legally and factually.Appealing a sentence is limited and rare: After a guilty plea, you can sometimes appeal the sentence, especially if you receive the maximum sentence or if "magic words" (required legal justifications) are missing from the judge's explanation. However, reversing or reducing the sentence through appeal is statistically rare.Be fully informed before pleading guilty: Don't assume you can “just appeal” if you're unhappy with your sentence. Talk to your attorney, weigh the risks, and make sure your decision to plead is made knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily.Submit your questions to www.lawyertalkpodcast.com.Recorded at Channel 511.Stephen E.

One of the big questions that's been coming up everywhere lately: how does the First Amendment actually work when it comes to online pornography? In this episode, I break down the recent Supreme Court case, Free Speech Coalition Inc. v. Paxton, which addresses whether states can require age verification pop-ups on adult websites and whether that crosses the line into unconstitutional territory.I'll walk you through the basics of how the courts view content-based regulation versus time, place, and manner restrictions, and why that distinction matters for everything from protests on the statehouse lawn to what you see on your favorite websites. We'll talk about why challenges to these regulations are so important, what makes something pass constitutional muster, and where things might be headed next in the ever-evolving world of free speech and online content.If you love digging into constitutional law, or if you simply want to understand how these headlines affect your rights, this episode is for you. Got a question? Head over to lawyertalkpodcast.com, send it my way, and let's keep the conversation going. 3 Key Takeaways:Content-Based vs. Time, Place, and Manner:Content-based regulations, where the government restricts speech based on its message, are almost always unconstitutional. By contrast, time, place, and manner restrictions (imposing rules about when, where, or how speech happens) are generally permissible if applied fairly and equally.Strict Scrutiny Applies:Content-based restrictions are subjected to the strictest legal scrutiny and rarely survive court challenges. Time, place, and manner restrictions, if neutral and reasonable, tend to fare better legally.Slippery Slope & Future Concerns:The age verification requirement for adult content raises important “what's next?” questions. Could similar regulations creep into academic, legal, or other sensitive content areas? How might new rules affect non-pornographic but still controversial discussions or resources online?Got a question you want answered on the podcast? Call 614-859-2119 and leave us a voicemail.

Join Dave Roberts and Ken Pullin for Episode 379 of Let Me Tell You Why You Wrong, where they blend backyard reality with political insider drama. They open with life in Pike County under blistering summer skies—Ken's just marked his 22nd wedding anniversary while juggling his daughter's Georgia Tech orientation (an $85 registration fee!) and the sticker shock of a $700 parking pass (Uber to the rescue, maybe). From there they steer into Atlanta's frenzy—$400-plus tickets to the MLB All-Star Game, Beyoncé's surprise country-music stop, and a preview of Whiskey Myers in Macon—before diving headlong into Georgia's next big showdown. Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones finally threw his hat into the governor's ring after the filing deadline, self-funding a $10 million launch video that features a surprise walk-on by Donald Trump and fond memories of his days kicking around the Bulldog football field. Dave and Ken unpack Jones's platform—abolishing the state income tax, fighting fentanyl, barring trans girls from girls' sports, and ending movie-industry tax credits—and compare it to Attorney General Chris Carr's $3.5 million war chest, the ever-teasing Marjorie Taylor Greene, and other potential contenders like Brad Raffensperger and Mike Collins. No Georgia episode would be complete without scandal, and this week the Frost family of Newnan steals the spotlight. Once major Republican donors, Brandt Frost 4 and his son Brandt Frost 5 now face an SEC civil suit accusing them of fleecing roughly 300 investors out of $140 million through their “Patriot Funds/Dollars” program, promising implausible 12–18% returns on risky loans while allegedly funneling $19 million into their own pockets (including a $320 000 rental home) and dumping $570 000 into political contributions. They round out the show with a look at federal policy and public-health alarms: DHS's sudden end to the 19-year shoe-removal rule, Pam Bondi's flip-flop on the Epstein “no list,” an “activist judge” stay blocking Planned Parenthood defunding, and the routine—but controversial—purge of 478 000 Georgia voter-registration records. On the home front, one in three U.S. teens now carries pre-diabetes, a Delta A330's engine failure led to a 30-hour layover in the Azores, and Washington County's DUI cover-up—where private hires of a certain public defender triggered wholesale dismissals—remains a cautionary tale. Unfiltered, unapologetic, and undeniably Georgia, it's another roller-coaster hour with Dave and Ken.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly summit on Neutralizing Workplace Racism 07/10/25. Hopefully, we all survived the 4th of July with all our fingers and toes and no added DUI arrests on our record. Gus T. is still mighty curious if any C.O.W.S. listeners have been interviewed by AI? This was first mentioned last week and speaks volumes to the monumental changes to the work landscape. It is imperative that non-white parents speak to their children often about the rapidly changing dynamics of getting and maintaining any sort of job. We also discussed a KCRW report where grocery enterprise Trader Joe's is accused of stealing the intellectual property of "ethnic"/non-white chefs. As opposed to partnering with non-white cooks at places like Brooklyn Delhi, Trader Joe's allegedly makes inferior copies of their culinary creations to sell at cheap prices to consumers. KCRW's report made it seem that Trader Joe's targets and ripoffs non-white ("ethnic") chefs specifically. #INVEST in The C.O.W.S. - https://cash.app/$TheCOWS #TheCOWS16Years CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE: 564943#

In this unflinching compilation, the show weaves together urgent warnings and explosive revelations. First, hear how a simple driving habit—pausing at green lights—has saved listeners' lives in South Carolina's Upstate, a region plagued by red-light runners and repeat DUI offenders like Kevin Clinton Harrison, whose reckless actions killed a teenager and injured others. The host exposes how systemic failures let dangerous drivers stay free despite long criminal records. Then, the focus pivots to the national scandal surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's death. From missing camera angles to withheld evidence and bipartisan finger-pointing, the segment dissects the tangled web of secrecy that continues to shield powerful figures. Whether on local roads or in federal investigations, these stories show a justice system too often stacked against everyday Americans.
These two intense broadcasts weave together urgent national and local crises. The first transcript exposes ongoing Iranian plots to assassinate Donald Trump, failures within the Secret Service after multiple attacks, and Senate GOP efforts to slash funding for agencies like USAID over alleged bioweapons shipments to China. The second transcript tells the heartbreaking story of 15-year-old Chastity Nelson, killed by a habitual drunk driver whose prior DUIs were mishandled by the courts. Overflowing vigils honored her memory while her devastated community demanded reform. Together, these segments highlight the consequences of institutional negligence and the threats facing American leaders and families alike
The host shares a powerful listener story: a text message thanking them for life-saving advice about pausing before driving through green lights—a habit that prevented a fatal crash. Drawing from personal near-miss experiences and alarming statistics, the host explains why South Carolina's Upstate region has some of the country's highest rates of deadly driving, often due to rampant red-light running and repeat DUI offenders like Kevin Clinton Harrison. The episode also pivots to new revelations in the Epstein case, exposing inconsistencies, lawsuits for hidden evidence, and why many believe we still don't know the full story behind his death.
This powerful double-segment dives into two gripping themes: the deadly reality of driving in South Carolina's Upstate—where red-light running, DUIs, and judicial failures cost lives—and new scrutiny surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's death. The host shares a listener's story of survival thanks to a simple driving tip and exposes how habitual offender Kevin Clinton Harrison caused a fatal crash yet avoided prison for years. Then, the episode shifts to unravel inconsistencies in the Epstein investigation, raising questions about the FBI, hidden client lists, and suspicious surveillance failures. It's a stark reminder that accountability—whether on our roads or in our justice system—remains elusive.
In this powerful broadcast, the hosts dissect the tragic death of 15-year-old Chastity Wilson, a cheerleader killed by a habitual drunk driver with a decades-long rap sheet of DUIs, grand theft, burglary, and forgery. They expose how South Carolina's judicial system—where legislators appoint judges, many from their own law firms—routinely lets repeat offenders walk free with “time served” sentences and reduced charges. The discussion highlights systemic failures, conflicts of interest, and the profound human cost when a culture of leniency collides with an unaccountable judiciary.
In a wide-ranging broadcast, the host reports that Senate Republicans, led by John Thune, are seeking votes for a symbolic $9 billion funding cut to agencies like PBS, NPR, and USAID—citing recent revelations that USAID allegedly shipped dangerous viruses abroad. The program also discusses mounting threats against former President Trump by Iranian officials and failures within the Secret Service after multiple assassination attempts. The episode closes with an emotional account of 15-year-old Chastity Nelson, killed in South Carolina by a repeat DUI offender whose prior convictions were mishandled. A vigil overflowing two parking lots honored her life, as the community demanded accountability and reform to prevent more tragedies.

Law school spends a lot of time on big constitutional theories and landmark cases, but what about the nuts and bolts, like Rule 16, filing demands for discovery, and wading through endless hours of body cam footage? I'm here to shed light on all of it.Today, we get into the gritty details of what criminal discovery actually looks like in practice. From being buried under mountains of police video, to dealing with last-minute evidence dumps and navigating Brady violations—I share real stories, practical advice, and the kind of candid perspective that comes from decades in the trenches. If you're a future lawyer, a legal enthusiast, or just curious about what really goes on in a trial, this episode is for you. So sit back, relax, and join me at the law school table as we dig into the stuff you won't find in the textbooks.Moments00:00 "Law School Versus Real Practice"05:55 "Time Costs: Law Clerk Solution"08:38 "Case Discussion and Human Bias"12:23 Evidence Overlooked: Raising Concerns15:45 Unprepared for Trial Defense17:43 "Prosecutors as Foxes: Trust Issues"Here are my top three takeaways from the conversation:Practical Discovery Knowledge is Often Missing from Law School: While law school dives deep into constitutional theory, many students aren't exposed to the everyday realities of criminal procedure, like Ohio's Rule 16 and the actual process of filing and responding to discovery demands.Managing Evidence is a Major Challenge: With technology, gathering evidence like body and dash cam footage has become both a blessing and a burden. Reviewing hours of footage from multiple officers can consume entire weeks of attorney time — something clients and new lawyers should understand.Discovery Rules are Not Just Formalities: The rules about timely and complete evidence disclosure are not just procedural checklists. Late or incomplete discovery can fundamentally change trial strategy, require continuances, or in some cases, even lead to a dismissal — and it's up to defense counsel to fight for the fair application of these rules.Submit your questions to www.lawyertalkpodcast.com.Recorded at Channel 511.Stephen E.

Let me start by saying I detest drunk driving. That said, the Colorado Department of Transportation sent out a press release saying more than half of all drivers who were contacted for suspected DUI refused to take a toxicology test. There are lawyers on social media who will persuade you to not take the test but is that the best strategy if you are pulled over? In this episode I speak with criminal defense and DUI attorney Kevin Churchill asking what you should do and what your legal rights are when it comes to intoxication.

The Importance of Fair Trials for Everyone: "If anybody deserves a fair trial, it is the most guilty, deplorable person you can possibly imagine. Because if he can get a fair trial, then you, when you're not guilty, you can get a fair trial too..." - Steve PalmerUsing Weinstein's high-profile New York conviction as our guide, I break down why the court's decision to allow testimony from other alleged victims became such a crucial issue on appeal.I walk you through why ensuring a fair trial (yes, even for someone as notorious as Weinstein) is so important for the justice system as a whole. You'll hear my take on what happened inside that contentious jury room, the chaos (and value) of passionate deliberations, and what it really means when jurors can't agree. We'll use classic courtroom wisdom, a nod to the film “12 Angry Men,” and explore what prosecutors can do after a hung jury.If you've ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes after a big trial wraps up, or why appeals matter, this episode is for you. You'll learn what makes the adversarial process tick and why procedural fairness isn't just a technicality. It's the backbone of justice.Here are my key takeaways:Why Procedural Fairness Matters: No matter how “guilty” or reviled someone may be, the system must guarantee a fair trial. Otherwise, the same rules protecting the innocent begin to erode. The denial of a fair trial for anyone jeopardizes the process for everyone.How Juries REALLY Work: The jury deliberations in Weinstein's retrial were reportedly contentious. Yelling, disagreements, and passionate debate. This, I argue, actually shows the adversarial system doing its job as jurors hash out the facts and arrive at the closest thing to the truth.What Happens After a Hung Jury: If a jury can't agree (a “hung jury”), prosecutors aren't required to retry the case, but often will. Especially if victims push for it or to secure a complete legal outcome, even if other convictions already mean substantial prison time.Submit your questions to www.lawyertalkpodcast.com.Recorded at Channel 511.Stephen E.
