episode Pamela Price | Attorney at Law artwork

Pamela Price | Attorney at Law

In this episode of Lawyers Who Care, host Andrew Samalin speaks with Pamela Price, attorney at law in Oakland, California. With over forty years of legal experience, Pamela serves small and medium-sized businesses in the Oakland and East Bay areas, bringing a career defined by courage, persistence, and a commitment to using the law as a tool to serve people. Pamela shares how a juvenile arrest at a civil rights demonstration and a path through Yale College first shaped her relationship with the law — and how meeting movement lawyers showed her that legal practice could be a force for good. She recounts how a client she turned down three times kept returning to her office until she finally accepted his case, ultimately leading her to argue before the United States Supreme Court and win after nearly a decade of litigation. She also reflects on what it meant to stand before the Supreme Court as a Black woman from a small Oakland firm, the challenges she faced even within the courthouse walls, and how being named California Lawyer of the Year followed one of the most extraordinary legal victories of her career. Topics covered: * A path to law through civil rights, Yale, and movement lawyering * The client she turned down three times — and why she finally said yes * Nearly ten years of litigation and arguing before the U.S. Supreme Court * What it meant to be a Black woman arguing before the nation's highest court * Being named California Lawyer of the Year in employment law * Forty years of serving small and medium-sized businesses in Oakland * Why courage and persistence are the foundation of legal excellence Connect with Pamela Price:  Website: pypesq.com  Email: pamela@thepamelaprice.com

episode Jennie Woltz | Employment and Labor Law artwork

Jennie Woltz | Employment and Labor Law

In this episode of Lawyers Who Care, host Andrew Samalin speaks with Jennie Woltz, co-founder of Woltz & Folkinshteyn in Stamford, Connecticut. Jennie works with both employers and employees across a broad range of employment and labor law matters, helping businesses de-risk their HR functions, reduce litigation exposure, and build workplace cultures where people can thrive. Jennie shares how a background in anthropology and an early interest in people and culture eventually led her away from complex commercial litigation and toward labor and employment law — the closest thing, she says, to being an anthropologist in a professional setting. She breaks down the employment risks that catch most employers off guard, from retaliation and leave administration to wage misclassification, and explains why proactive legal counsel almost always saves more than reactive litigation. She also describes how she and her partner launched their firm during the COVID-19 pandemic and responded to the crisis by creating an entirely new legal services model — the Employment Law Co-op — designed to help nonprofits and essential service providers stay compliant with a rapidly shifting body of new laws in real time. Topics covered: * From anthropology major to labor and employment attorney * The most overlooked legal risks employers face * Discrimination, retaliation, wage and hour, and leave administration * Why proactive employment law counsel prevents costly disputes * Launching a firm during COVID and building a new legal services model * The Employment Law Co-op and how it protected nonprofits during the pandemic * Why AI is not a substitute for trusted legal advice Connect with Jennie Woltz:  Email: jwoltz@wfpclaw.com  Phone: (203) 276-0792

episode Hillary Johns | Trial Law artwork

Hillary Johns | Trial Law

In this episode of Lawyers Who Care, host Andrew Samalin speaks with Hillary Johns, managing partner of Hillary Johns Trial Lawyer in Beverly Hills, California. Hillary focuses her practice on civil litigation, real estate, business law, and intellectual property matters, representing clients across Southern California, the Bay Area, and New York. Hillary shares how a childhood fascination with Perry Mason first drew her to the courtroom, and how working alongside seasoned trial lawyers early in her career gave her the confidence and skill to try her first case just six months out of law school. She reflects on what separates lawyers who litigate from those who actually go to verdict — and why that distinction matters for clients. She also discusses the broader shifts she has observed across the legal profession, from the expanding access to legal services and the rise of employment and defamation cases, to the growing challenge of AI hallucinations appearing in legal arguments — and why returning to the fundamentals of good work and personalized service remains the most reliable strategy for lawyers and business owners alike. Topics covered: * Building a trial law career from the ground up * The difference between litigating and going to verdict * How access to the legal system has changed over the decades * AI hallucinations and their impact on legal practice * The explosion of employment and defamation cases * Why law is a business — and why that matters * Staying grounded in fundamentals amid rapid change Connect with Hillary Johns:  Email: hilary@hilarytriallawyers.com  Website: hilarytriallawyers.com

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
