Episode 32: Lawyers Need Help Too!

Crime Time: With Virginia Defense Attorneys

It used to be that mental health and wellness was never discussed. It is now a topic many are open to talking about and people are now encouraged to seek help or be open with a family member, friend, colleague, therapist, or whoever about anything they may be struggling with in their life. Attorneys are no exception to this. In fact attorneys are even more at risk to struggle with stress and anxiety and depression due to the very nature of the work they do. In today's episode our special guest is a friend and former defense attorney turned prosecutor, Lavonda Graham Williams. We talk about the stress attorneys have in their daily lives, how to cope with those issues, and stress that it is ok to need, ask for, or seek help.
LEGAL DISCLAIMER:
If you are listening to this podcast, thank you! We sincerely hope you are listening to this podcast for its entertainment value and not with the intention of acquiring legal advice for any individual case or situation. I mean, come on! You wouldn’t take advice from someone you have never met or spoken to directly, right? If you were bleeding profusely, you wouldn’t listen to a podcast in hopes of a bandage somehow materializing over the internet and onto your 3D printer. Seeking actual legal advice can be just as important as a tourniquet. The hosts of this podcast are in no way intending to create an attorney-client relationship with any listener. Sorry. We are sure you all are great people but we cannot stress enough how little we know of you and your case and rather than risk an awkward moment, let us just remember we have never met. Nothing on this platform be taken as legal advice for any individual case or situation! We are just a group of friends with differing opinions and viewpoints which we will try to explore through discussions of current events, law changes, and whatever else floats our fancy.
