    Laurie Jubelirer on Wrongful Convictions, Police Brutality, and Why She Crossed to the Other Side

    What happens when a Philadelphia prosecutor who spent nearly a decade putting people behind bars starts to see the other side — and eventually crosses over entirely to fight for the people the system failed? In this episode of the Trustcast Show, Zane Myers speaks with Laurie Jubelirer, founder of Jubelirer Law, about her remarkable evolution from DA to defense attorney, the wrongful convictions she uncovered in her own past cases, and the life sentence she's been fighting to overturn for a man convicted of felony murder who never intended to kill anyone. Laurie explains why Pennsylvania's felony murder law just got struck down as unconstitutional, what police brutality cases really look like behind closed doors, and why she believes the entire American prison system has failed at its only job. They also discuss the judge who told her to settle down until she looked him in the eyes and refused, her civil rights pilgrimage to Selma and Montgomery, why criminalizing addiction and mental illness makes both worse, and how her father's three words — make a difference — have shaped everything she does. Laurie Jubelirer is the founder of Jubelirer Law, a criminal defense and civil rights firm serving the Philadelphia region. She is also the host of the Voices of the System podcast.

    Ryan Gregerson on Building a $6M Family Law Firm, and Why Everyone Already Has a Prenup

    What happens when a family law attorney builds the largest family law department at a major Utah firm, walks away to sell LegalTech, and then decides within 10 months to come back and build something entirely his own — from zero clients to 10 attorneys, 3,000-plus clients served, and a national ABA leadership role in under three years? In this episode of the Trustcast Show, Zane Myers speaks with Ryan Gregerson, founding partner of RCG Law Group in South Jordan, Utah, about the philosophy, purpose, and practical systems that drive his firm's remarkable growth. Ryan explains why he believes most divorces should never go to trial, how a mediation fight over three used bar stools changed the way he prepares clients, and why he thinks every person getting married already has a prenup — they just didn't choose the terms. They also discuss the holistic divorce model that connects clients with therapists, CPAs, mortgage officers, and financial planners from day one, the tragedy of a client who took his own life that reminded him how real this work is, the time management framework that he says is the single biggest mistake solo attorneys make, and how his plans to scale RCG Law Group to $20 million and into five states by 2028 are already in motion. Ryan Gregerson is the founding partner of RCG Law Group, a family law firm with four offices in Utah and expansion plans into Arizona, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon. He also coaches law firm owners on business development and time management.

    Matt Ames on Business Divorces, Caregiving Through Cancer, and Writing the Book Nobody Else Would

    What happens when a business litigation attorney who runs an improv theater wakes up one morning and gets the phone call that changes everything — and then spends the next several years fighting for his wife, his family, and eventually himself, in ways law school never prepared him for? In this episode of the Trustcast Show, Zane Myers speaks with Matt Ames, partner at Balch & Bingham in Atlanta and author of Through the Impossible, about the July morning in 2019 when his wife Liz was diagnosed with a rare aggressive cancer and how journaling in the early morning hours became a memoir he never intended to publish. Matt shares what it means to be a male caregiver when most of the literature is written for someone else, why rage is one of the emotions caregivers never admit to, and what it felt like to keep expressing gratitude every Friday night even on the darkest weeks. They also discuss what a business divorce actually looks like in the real world, how he got an injunction after a former employee hacked a client's network to steal trade secrets, the improv workshop for lawyers he created nearly 20 years ago, and why he believes what trial attorneys do in a courtroom and what improvisers do on a stage are closer than most people think. Matt Ames is a partner at Balch & Bingham in Atlanta, Georgia, specializing in business litigation and business divorces. He is the author of Through the Impossible and a former president of Dad's Garage Theater. Liz Ames is five-plus years cancer free.

    Gabriel Perez on Arguing at the Supreme Court, Border Patrol Defense,

    What happens when a first-generation college student from a military family grows up to argue a case before the United States Supreme Court — twice — and then builds his own firm on the Texas-New Mexico border handling everything from federal criminal defense to cycling accident cases he knows personally? In this episode of the Trustcast Show, Zane Myers speaks with Gabriel Perez, founder of Gabriel S. Perez Law in El Paso, Texas, about his journey from collegiate cross country runner to Supreme Court advocate in the landmark Hernandez v. Mesa border shooting case. Gabriel explains what it's like to defend a federal agent in a politically charged cross-border shooting, why federal criminal cases require preparation from day one of indictment, and why he keeps criminal defense in his practice even as he focuses more on injury work — because jury trials are like athletics, and if you don't do them regularly, you get rusty. They also discuss what it means to practice across two state bar licenses on the Texas-New Mexico border, how being hit by a car while cycling gave him a personal connection to his injury clients, his seven years teaching criminal law at the college level, and why he believes education is the great equalizer. Gabriel Perez is the founder of Gabriel S. Perez Law in El Paso, Texas, licensed in both Texas and New Mexico. His practice covers federal criminal defense, personal injury, civil rights litigation, and civil litigation across the border region.

    Sharla Frost on 60 Jury Trials, Writing Children's Books, and Retooling Life in Frogville

    What happens when a small-town Oklahoma girl whose principal told her she'd have a secretary one day becomes one of the country's top litigators — and then retires to her cattle ranch to write fantasy adventure books for kids? In this episode of the Trustcast Show, Zane Myers speaks with Sharla Frost, former managing partner of Powers & Frost and first chair trial counsel in over 60 jury trials, including a billion-dollar product liability case and a successful J&J talcum powder mesothelioma defense. Sharla shares what it took to build a litigation boutique from scratch as a woman in the 1980s, how she used her 89-year-old ranch tenant as a trial consultant, and why she believes the biggest mistake lawyers make is drinking their own Kool-Aid. They also discuss her Amazon bestseller Power at the Table, how she pivoted from the courtroom to writing the Frogville Quest children's book series, why her protagonist Lily Lotus Dilweed is neither a victim nor an advocate, the nonprofit she runs to revitalize historic Fort Towson, Oklahoma, and why she calls it retooled — not retired. Sharla Frost is a former managing partner of Powers & Frost, a sought-after trial consultant and expert witness, keynote speaker, Amazon bestselling author, and creator of the Frogville Quest children's book series.

    Steve Heninger on $3 Billion in Verdicts, and 50 Years of Fighting for the Little Guy

    What happens when a drafted Army lieutenant who prosecuted courts martial before ever setting foot in law school goes on to become a founding partner of one of America's most decorated plaintiff's firms — with over $3 billion recovered and 21 seven-figure verdicts to his name? In this episode of the Trustcast Show, Zane Myers speaks with Steve Heninger, founding partner of Heninger Garrison Davis in Birmingham, Alabama, about five decades of plaintiff's trial work, the $64 million bingo casino fraud verdict that changed his firm's trajectory, and why he believes trial lawyers are in the lighting and heating business. Steve shares what separates cases that settle from those that have to go to a jury, how he approaches medical malpractice when juries instinctively protect doctors, and why the most dangerous mistake any trial lawyer makes is forgetting their humanity. They also discuss what it's like trying 19 jury trials alongside his son Eric, who was just named lawyer of the year alongside him, why great storytellers are interested people not interesting ones, how a phrase from Dolly Parton shaped his philosophy on connecting with juries, and why his wife's advice to turn down a run for Congress was the best she ever gave him. Steve Heninger is a founding partner of Heninger Garrison Davis, a national plaintiff's law firm based in Birmingham, Alabama, with offices in Atlanta. He is a member of the Alabama Law Foundation's top 1%, a Super Lawyer, and a Best Lawyer in America with over 50 years of trial experience.

    What happens when a wrestler from Illinois ends up surfing before court in Palm Beach County, defending people on the worst days of their lives with over 200 five-star Google reviews and a life felony reduced to a sealed misdemeanor? In this episode of the Trustcast Show, Zane Myers speaks with Matthew Konecky, founder of Konecky Law in Palm Beach County, Florida, about his 20-plus-year criminal defense and personal injury career, the attempted murder case he took from a life felony down to a sealed misdemeanor, and why he refuses to use fear to get clients to hire him. Matthew explains what people get wrong in the first 24 hours after a DUI arrest, why Florida's new license plate cover law led to a wave of wrongful arrests, and how his wrestling background shaped the way he fights in a courtroom. They also discuss his free legal guides for clients, the book he wrote for families of the arrested, why he still practices both criminal defense and personal injury after two decades, how he's using technology to serve clients across multiple counties without overextending, and what he learned from Ben Glass about building client trust before they ever call.

    Octavia Martinez on Defending Doctors, Challenging Licensing Boards

    What happens when a former felony prosecutor walks away from law to homestead a ranch and homeschool her kids in the Rio Grande Valley — and then gets pulled back in by a client desperate for someone who would actually fight for them? In this episode of the Trustcast Show, Zane Myers speaks with Octavia Martinez, founder of Octavia Martinez Law, about her unconventional path from UVA undergrad to Ohio State law grad to felony prosecutor to homesteading rancher to solo practice attorney defending doctors, midwives, and patients across Texas and beyond. Octavia explains why she left practice in 2018 after witnessing prosecutorial overreach that disillusioned her, what pulled her back in 2024, and why anonymous complaints to medical licensing boards are one of the most dangerous and underreported threats facing healthcare providers today. They also discuss medical malpractice, defamation cases, disputed probate, the constitutional rights issues she sees running through nearly every case, how she manages a virtual law practice with a newborn, a homestead, a milk cow, homeschooling, and her husband's medical clinic, and why she believes the law is most powerful when applied with nuance rather than ideology. Octavia Martinez is the founder of Octavia Martinez Law, a virtual solo practice based in the Rio Grande Valley, Texas.
