Adina says it took 30 minutes to get high again. The bus took her to Skid Row. No calls. No waiting. Just knowing the block. 🎙️ Episode 2 youtube.com/watch?v=JFrYe4… #CounselorPodcast

She was 14. Overprescribed Xanax. Trapped in a boarding school. Adina begged her family to pull her out. Then someone offered her heroin. And that’s how it started. 🎙️ Episode 2 youtube.com/watch?v=JFrYe4… #CounselorPodcast

You don’t wake up and choose addiction. It sneaks in. Then shame takes over. You cross lines. You feel worthless. You use again just to make it stop. Adina explains it all. Episode 2 youtube.com/watch?v=JFrYe4… #CounselorPodcast

Adina’s first time using heroin felt like relief. But that peace came at a price she never expected. This is not glorification. It’s a warning. 🎙️ Full episode: youtube.com/watch?v=JFrYe4… #CounselorPodcast

I met Adina in jail during the COVID lockdowns. Even in solitary, after all she had been through, she had her humor and spark. That moment stuck with me. She’s one of the strongest people I’ve ever met. 🎙️ Episode 2 youtube.com/watch?v=JFrYe4… #CounselorPodcast

Most people in court are struggling with addiction or mental illness. But the system rarely stops to ask why. My approach does. It is called Targeted Solution Advocacy. And it works. Watch Episode 2 youtube.com/watch?v=JFrYe4… #CounselorPodcast

The fix most defense attorneys offer? Short-lived. My 3-step method starts by asking why. Why is this person really here? What’s their story? When you lead with empathy, you get better outcomes. 📺 Full podcast: youtube.com/channel/UCpFCf… #counselorpodcast

The system treats everyone the same. I show why my clients aren’t. Real defense means giving the court a reason to see the person behind the case. 🎙 Counselor: Beyond Conventional Defense 📍 youtube.com/channel/UCpFCf… #CounselorPodcast #JusticeReform

Supporting a loved one through addiction or legal trouble? Be present. Set boundaries. Educate yourself. Love with limits is still love. And it’s often what helps most. 🎙️ Episode 1 of Counselor is live. 📺 youtube.com/watch?v=RsMuem… #CounselorPodcast #AddictionSupport

I’m not here to judge you — I’m here to help. That starts with trust. I use motivational interviewing to get the full story so I can build the full defense. 📺 Watch here: youtube.com/channel/UCpFCf… #CriminalDefense #DefenseAttorney #counselorpodcast #counselorpodcast

Defense isn’t just about winning I’ve won murder and assault trials. But what matters more is understanding the client. Their trauma. Their addiction. Their story. Real advocacy means helping people heal. 🎥 youtube.com/channel/UCpFCf… #CounselorPodcast
