“The client comes before the law, not above it. The Pro Bono podcast gives me the chance to give back to clients and peers after 30 years plus of practice. Here we get to talk openly about what legal careers mean to us, what inspires us every day, how we fight for our clients, and how we stand up for legal principles in society. I hope it inspires you, too,” stated Ed Nahhat.

- Listeners will gain insights into Joe’s motivations for entering the legal profession and his perspective on law as a cornerstone of a civil society, particularly shaped by his experiences during the 1960s.
- The discussion not only showcases Joe’s achievements as a successful litigator and highly sought-after mediator, but also imparts valuable lessons on adaptability, respect, and the enduring significance of personal integrity in the practice of law.
“Speaking with Ed allowed me to reflect on my career and how practicing law has changed over the years and how the main motivation will always remain providing the highest level of service to clients,” said Joe.
