Hey friends, welcome back to another episode of the Ambitious Legacy Podcast! Thanks for tuning in and for helping me to stay on purpose!
So I pride myself on being a good attorney, and it really gets me heated when I hear stories of lawyers taking advantage of their clients by stealing, lying, and/or just straight up misrepresenting them. This week, I'm going to share with you two stories of clients who were taken advantage of by their attorneys and three tips on how to weed out the good from the bad, so you can prevent similar situations from happening to you or someone you know!
Speaking of good attorneys, for my guest this week, I had the pleasure of interviewing Rosezetta Upshaw Esq.! Having met Rosezetta through EYL Legal Club (shoutout to EYL!), I knew she was a force to be reckoned with and had to have her on my podcast!
Rosezetta is an award winning attorney, President of the Black Woman Lawyers Association of Los Angeles Inc., and a musician. Originally from the bay area, she represents clients from all over the globe and has been practicing law for over 10 years. She now has her own practice where she focuses on Business Law, IP law, Wealth Planning and Trusts. Rosezetta has always wanted to be an attorney, and has used her passion for the law to create initiatives and to be a part of communities like the Black Woman Lawyers Association of Los Angeles Inc., which is a huge community of attorneys that learn and grow together.
In addition, Rosezetta has been a pioneer in the legal community creating an initiative to help both attorneys and those in need of legal services, with her virtual legal clinic "Legends At Law". Rosezetta started Legends At Law during the height of the pandemic because legal clinics were shut down and people were unable to take advantage of free legal services that they normally would have access to. The virtual clinic also provides an opportunity for attorneys to collaborate, share resources, network, and essentially- to create a community of legendary attorneys. Now that's an ambitious legacy!
I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I loved creating it! Don't forget to rate and subscribe!
