Ever wondered how empathy can be a powerful tool in the courtroom? Join me, Matthew Pfeiffer, as I sit down with Megan L. Drury from GRGB Law, a family law attorney with a heart. With a journey that took her from the world of mental health to the legal landscape of family law, Megan offers us a unique insight into the complexities of navigating clients' emotions during some of the most challenging periods of their lives. Discover how her empathetic approach, coupled with a fierce determination, defies the stereotypes of both lawyers and therapists, providing a distinct advantage in her practice.During our conversation, Megan shares her personal evolution and how her skills as a therapist seamlessly integrate into her role as an attorney. We explore the strategic edge she gains from understanding psychological evaluations and the importance of setting strong boundaries—traits that serve her well in both sensitive negotiations and courtroom battles. This episode is not just about the intersection of law and therapy; it's a testament to the power of listening and empathy as legal tools. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that may just reshape your perception of the legal profession.
