00:04
i got into law
00:06
partly because when i was at the
00:09
university of miami
00:11
i was working with a woman who was a
00:14
professor
00:15
and she encouraged advocacy
00:18
and teaching and and empowering
00:22
especially women empowering women to
00:24
really
00:24
understand your rights and understand
00:28
what you need to know in order to move
00:31
forward
00:32
so i was exposed to other attorneys and
00:35
other leaders
00:36
and i thought becoming a lawyer would
00:39
help me coach
00:41
parents and coach spouses and really get
00:44
them to a point where
00:45
you know you know what your
00:46
responsibilities are you know what
00:48
you’re entitled to
00:50
with that information you’re empowered
00:52
to you know
00:53
make decisions for your own future so i
00:56
thought that was a great way
00:58
to contribute
01:04
one thing that i find myself repeating
01:07
often to clients is everybody’s case is
01:11
different and
01:12
unique your family is different and
01:14
unique
01:15
and so your best friend’s divorce it may
01:17
not look like your divorce
01:19
we really have to pay attention to that
01:22
the nuances that really make your needs
01:26
and your responsibilities different from
01:28
somebody else just because somebody else
01:30
got a big
01:31
uh alimony monthly payment doesn’t
01:34
necessarily mean that’s the same thing
01:36
that’s going to happen with you
01:38
that’s something i often find myself
01:41
guiding my clients through
