He's also the co-founder of Get Staffed Up, a company that provides virtual staff to law firms. Over the years, Brett built his firm from the ground up, shifting from litigation to business and franchise law. He scaled his team by learning how to delegate and eventually launched a second business focused on helping other lawyers do the same. His firm once grew 50–100% per year, and Get Staffed Up is now a major player in virtual legal staffing. In this episode, Brett talks about the struggles of running a law firm, the importance of hiring the right support early on, and how law school doesn't teach lawyers how to run a business. He also opens up about the toll litigation can take and how he built a life with more freedom and balance. Listen to this episode to learn why hiring an assistant might be the smartest first step for your practice, how to protect your time, and how small staffing decisions can create big changes in your work and life. Get Staffed Up https://getstaffedup.com/ The Trembly Law Firmhttps://tremblylaw.com/ Louis Goodmanwww.louisgoodman.comlouis@lovethylawyer.com510.582.9090 Musical theme by Joel Katz, Seaside Recording, MauiTechnical support: Bryan Matheson, Skyline Studios, OaklandAudiograms & Transcripts: Paul Robert We'd love to hear from you.  Send us an email at louisgoodman2010@gmail.com. Please subscribe and listen.

Joel Katz, the Northeast U.S. Regional Director for the March of the Living, discusses the importance of never forgetting the Holocaust and the lessons it teaches us. He shares his personal experiences visiting concentration camps in Poland and the impact it had on him and the participants of the March of the Living program. Joel emphasizes the need for education and understanding to combat antisemitism and promote peace. He also discusses the recent conflict in Israel and the importance of standing up against hatred and violence. Key Takeaways: Education is key to combatting ignorance and promoting understanding. The Holocaust serves as a reminder of the atrocities that can occur when hatred and prejudice go unchecked. It is important to remember the past and learn from it to ensure that history does not repeat itself. Courage is born out of fear, and it is important to stand up against injustice and hatred. The power of education and storytelling can help change perspectives and promote peace. Quotes: "We must continue every minute of our life to keep teaching history, keep teaching good things, the morals, the ethics, the principles of good life and protect." - Joel Katz "You are a witness to the murder of 6 million Jews and 5 million other human beings that God placed here on this earth." - Joel Katz "We need to teach everyone else that God gave us good and evil." - Joel Katz "Never stop talking. Never stop giving them information. The facts that you find, the background that you found, share that with them." - Joel Katz "We must keep educating and arming away at them, whatever vehicle and tools we might have." - Joel Katz

lovethylawyer.comA transcript of this podcast is available at lovethylawyer.com. Dannie De NovoNot too long ago, I was living the life that I thought everyone wanted to live. I had a good-paying job as an attorney, a husband, a house, and the most adorable baby girl. The problem was, though, that aside from the time I spent with my baby, I was actually pretty miserable. I was depressed but still functioning at a level of basic survival from day to day. The scariest part about this for me was that, growing up, I had suffered a very hard depression beginning in my teens and lasting through my early twenties.  Not knowing any better and simply wanting to be free from the prison of my mind, at age 19, I dropped out of college and consented to weeks of the tortuous “treatment.”  I set out on a course to be like everyone else and live happily ever after. Yet, I couldn't have been more unhappy. I remember one evening, mindlessly stirring a pot on the stove, lost in my misery. My eight-month-old was sitting on the kitchen floor playing with some pots and wooden spoons of her own. Suddenly, she looked up at me with her big brown eyes, picked up a pot and a spoon and started mimicking me! I thought it was the coolest thing I had ever seen. I bent down and said to her, “Yes! Just like Mommy!” And then, I fell to the floor. A crushing wave of nausea came over me and I was faint. It immediately became apparent to me that my daughter was watching me and copying everything I was doing, and what I was, in fact, doing was teaching her how to live a very depressed, lonely, anxious, unoriginal, and uninspired life. So, that day, I set out to learn what real happiness was because I could not bear the thought of my daughter ever having to go through what I had forced myself to endure for so long. I started studying happiness at the level I had once studied law—the spiritual side, the neuroscience side, the health side—everything I could get my hands on. I stopped being like everyone else and crafted my life the way I wanted to live it. To date, I have 3 bestselling books. (I have one international bestseller, Get in a Good Mood & Stay There, which chronicles my first steps of pulling myself out of depression, dealing with anxiety, and finding happiness.) I speak internationally, and I am now a television expert on multiple stations nationwide and have done well over 90 TV news and talk show appearances across the country.dannie@danniedenovo.com412-860-5241www.DannieDeNovo.com Louis Goodman www.louisgoodman.comhttps://www.lovethylawyer.com/510.582.9090  Musical theme by Joel Katz, Seaside Recording, Maui Technical support: Bryan Matheson, Skyline Studios, OaklandAudiograms & Transcripts: Paul Roberts  We'd love to hear from you.  Send me an email at louis@lovethylawyer.co Louis Goodman www.louisgoodman.comhttps://www.lovethylawyer.com/510.582.9090Music: Joel Katz, Seaside Recording, MauiTech: Bryan Matheson, Skyline Studios, OaklandAudiograms: Paul Roberts louis@lovethylawyer.com

She nurtures and mentors her clients to succeed beyond their wildest dreams, resolving hundreds of complex legal issues along the way. In 2016, Amanda Butler Schley made a bit of a career move. She not only left her job at a large law firm to found her own boutique, Business Law Group, focusing on representing entrepreneurs, she also sold her home and most of her belongings and moved onto a sailboat.The question on her mind was this: Can lawyers truly work from anywhere?She discovered the answer over the next year while sailing her way down the Gulf of Mexico with her two dogs, Ava and Kadan, and her boyfriend, Rob. “He was really the captain and I was the first mate,” says Butler Schley. Their vessel, Stay Foolish, was a 44-foot Island Packet 420 sailboat, also called a monohull sailboat. It had two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and it was designed for long-term “blue water cruising,” as opposed to shorter excursions like coastal sailing. They officially set sail from New Orleans in December 2017. “The plan was to go all along the Gulf Coast,” she says. “We didn't have any place we had to be at a specific time. We were just going to let the adventure take us where it would.”   Louis Goodman www.louisgoodman.comhttps://www.lovethylawyer.com/ 510.582.9090  Musical theme by Joel Katz, Seaside Recording, Maui Technical support: Bryan Matheson, Skyline Studios, OaklandAudiograms & Transcripts: Paul Roberts    We'd love to hear from you.  Send me an email at louis@lovethylawyer.com. Please subscribe and listen.

He prides himself in working on some of the most difficult cases and litigation projects with a tailored approach to each case. In addition to the numerous clients for whom he has achieved favorable results, Marshall has successfully argued a motion to dismiss on a life case which resulted in a dismissal of the charges and life enhancements. Effectively saving the client from life in prison, the case ended up settling for only 6 years.Marshall has argued successful motions to suppress evidence that resulted in dismissals. He regularly argues for bail release from jail over vehement objection by the prosecution. Marshall also has had domestic violence cases, DUIs, and theft cases dismissed by arguing for court diversion over DA objection, and saving the unnecessary criminalization of good people who made a mistake. As the firm's lead “post-conviction” attorney, he also has been able to get countless probations ended early, reduced felonies to misdemeanors, expunged records, sealed arrests, even vacated pleas due to immigration issues, and has removed clients from the sex offender registry.He graduated cum laude from U.C. Hastings College of the Law, and holds a B.A. English and a B.S. in Political Science from Santa Clara University. Before joining Silver Law Firm, Marshall was an integral part of Curtis Briggs' and J. Tony Serra's pro bono representation of California's longest serving Death Row inmate. As an unparalleled example of police, prosecutor, and other misconduct, Marshall learned first- hand how the system is stacked against the accused, and how important it is to have a team that will fight your case.In his final year of law school, Marshall interned at the San Francisco Public Defender's Office where he aided in the representation of numerous felony and misdemeanor cases and trials.  Marshall will stop at nothing to get the best result possible.  Louis Goodman www.louisgoodman.com louisgoodman2010@gmail.com 510.582.9090 Musical theme by Joel Katz, Seaside Recording, Maui Technical support: Bryan Matheson, Skyline Studios, OaklandAudiograms & Transcripts: Paul Roberts    We'd love to hear from you.  Send me an email at louis@lovethylawyer.com. Please subscribe and listen.

She moved to Oakland in March 2004 and started Torres Law Group Inc. with a focus on serving diverse communities, especially as a bilingual attorney fluent in Spanish.  The firm focuses on personal injury accident cases.Being equally committed to the community in which she lives, Roseann makes time to give back.

She focused on schools where students were typically denied access to extracurricular programs and students faced obstacles due to poverty, serving a majority Black and Latino students. The goal was to be a role model and relatable to these students who had been kicked out of traditional schools, since she attributes much of her success in life to the effect of mentors after facing difficulty in high school due to bullying.  Louis Goodman www.louisgoodman.com louisgoodman2010@gmail.com 510.582.9090 Musical theme by Joel Katz, Seaside Recording, Maui Technical support: Bryan Matheson, Skyline Studios, OaklandAudiograms & Transcripts: Paul Roberts  genievirtualassistant@gmail.com  We'd love to hear from you.  Send me an email at louis@lovethylawyer.com. Please subscribe and listen.

My family has played a big role in shaping my core values - integrity, respect, accountability, transparency, and openness.I've always ingrained those values into my work in the Sheriff's Office. I am a proud Latina with Mexican roots -- my father, Mario, immigrated to California from Mexico as a child and my mother, Sylvia, moved to California from Texas at an early age. Family has always been important to me and I have two older brothers with whom I have always been close. My husband Todd and I have been married for 14 years and we have made our home in Livermore. I am the proud stepmother of three daughters.  Our family ended up losing our home while I was in high school, and I chose to focus on working to help my family as I completed my high school education and had to forgo college -- it was not an option for me. By the time I was 18, I was working three jobs to help my family get by. A year later in 1997, I applied to and was hired on into the entry-level role of Sheriff's Technician within the Alameda County Sheriff's Office, a good paying job with benefits that was secure.
