To celebrate the 100th episode of the She Believed She Could podcast, Allison is joined by her husband Brian Walsh, and dear friend Brian Schweitzer. In today's episode, they kick off a new season, take a walk down memory lane and share valuable advice on how they've built their lives and businesses together. And while we've spotlighted amazing women over the last 4 seasons, this episode is the first of many where we will welcome men to the show! Enjoy!Memorable Moments:“I think there have definitely been pivotal moments for me at certain times in which I can actually pinpoint and say, If I had not made those decisions, I would not be here now.”“Together, we're both trying to build our businesses. We're both trying to find time to invest in ourselves, to support our kids, and support each other and everything that's happening in our lives.”“I've learned that at different stages and phases of life and your career and family and everything – you have to be okay with asking for support. There's this misconception that you have to do it alone, you've got to make it and figure it out the hard way. You don't, there's a lot of amazing people that want to support you, your dreams, and your goals.”“My biggest piece of business advice, it's the ABCs. Who is your attorney? Who is your banker? And who is your CPA? If you know those three, you have contact with them, and they're involved in the operation of your business, I think your business is going to do that much better.”“I'm very protective of who I allow into this inner circle because I realize the influence that people can have over you.”About Brian Walsh:Brian M.

So you’re going through your mail and you see a jury summons. Don’t think “oh, no.” This is an opportunity for you to play a vital role in our jury system, and could possibly impact your future life choices – at least that’s what happened to today’s podcast guest. Mayanne Downs is the first woman president and managing editor of GrayRobinson. She has served as president of the Orange County Bar Association, the Legal Aid Society, and the Florida Bar, and is the first woman appointed City Attorney for Orlando. Her experience serving on a jury years ago sparked her interest in pursuing a legal career. Now a widely respected attorney, she sits down with Chief Judge Fred Lauten to share her passion for jury service. Each year, nearly 200,000 residents of Orange and Osceola counties receive a jury summons. Providing a jury trial to persons accused of a crime or involved in a civil dispute would be impossible without persons from a rich, diverse cross-section of our community responding positively to their summons. Tune in to this podcast, to hear about Mayanne’s latest experience while reporting for jury service. Next time you receive a summons, you may just be pleasantly surprised. Let us know what you think about the podcast.

Ever have a dispute that you wanted to settle but didn’t think you had the money or resources to hash out in Court? Or maybe you thought that filling out a stack of complicated documents just wasn’t worth the hassle or time? Did you know that there is another way to settle a dispute outside of a courtroom – one that can be resolved quicker and costs less money? In this episode of Open Ninth, Chief Judge Fred Lauten sits down with Lawrence Kolin, a mediator at Upchurch, Watson, White, & Max, to discuss the purpose and advantages of mediations. With a law degree from the University of Miami Law School and over a decade’s experience in mediation, Kolin became a full-time mediator with the Orange County Bar Association in 2010. Kolin defines a mediator as being a neutral third party who facilitates a meeting between two conflicting parties in efforts to help both sides find a resolution. A mediator, as explained by Kolin, is different from a judge or lawyer in that the mediator does not litigate, take sides, or make a ruling in the case. Kolin states that mediations are voluntary, confidential, and are risk-free – if a resolution is not achieved, the parties can continue litigating their case in Court. After last year’s impact from Hurricane Irma, the Orange County Bar Association provided mediation services to all Orange County residents completely free of charge. If you’d like help resolving a dispute that you may be having with either a neighbor or landlord, or a consumer complaint, property damage or settlement issue, please visit www.orangecountybar.org for more information.

As attorneys graduate and head into the legal marketplace, or leave a law firm to start a solo practice, it can be hard to know where to find resources with tips on starting your new career. What are the most important things that a newly solo practitioner should know? What are some best practices for lawyers just starting out in the field? In this episode of The New Solo, host Adriana Linares talks with the ABA TECHSHOW 2017 Planning Board to provide need to know advice for newly solo attorneys. This year’s TECHSHOW board consists of Barbara Leach Law PL. Managing Attorney Barbara Leach, Avvo Director of Industry Relations Dan Lear, O’Melveny & Myers Senior Manager of Technology and Development Ivan Hemmans, and Downey Law Group LLC.

The amount of money coming in each month (and how you pay your expenses) is very relevant to the survival of a new business. Barbara encourages solo lawyers to establish their brand immediately and really determine what type of lawyer they’d like to be and what type of clients they’d like to attract. Michael accentuates the amount of credibility strong branding provides to a new attorney and gives insights into the steps he took to create his own brand. Ivan discusses the necessity of thoroughly learning Microsoft Word and the benefits of document organization. The group then closes the interview with an analysis of basic tech competencies, like email management, that all attorneys should master.

On this episode of Lawyer2Lawyer, J. Craig Williams chats with Entertainment Lawyer Michael Baroni and superhero-law expert James Daily about the ending of The Dark Knight Rises. Proceed with caution – there are spoilers ahead! The city of Gotham sees Batman die at the end of the film. Does that mean that Bruce Wayne is legally dead, as well? And if so, who gets the batmobiles? Legally speaking, Warner Brothers’ design patent on the batmobile will run out, as will their patent on the story. Will another company fill the role and bring back Batman? • Baroni has been watching the Batman films since he was a kid and continues to be an enthusiast. Batman fan by night, he works as general counsel for Palace Entertainment by day. He is also a member of the Orange County Bar Association. • Daily is co-author of the book The Law of Superheroes and the blog Law and Multiverse. Both publications discuss the hypothetical legal ramifications behind comic book characters and their powers. When James isn’t meticulously analyzing the law of comic books and characters, he works in intellectual property and patent law. Tune in for, what Baroni describes as, the perfect “legal cocktail chatter” on the legalities behind Batman’s death, what he left behind, and the chances of a resurrection of one of America’s most beloved comic-book characters.
