On this week's episode, the ladies talk to Molly Parmer, a solo criminal defense attorney out of Atlanta, GA. She teaches advance trial advocacy at Emory Law, and you can see her on court TV ! Before going to law school she was a teacher for 5 years, specifically special education. Why did she decide to go to law school? Well, she loves school and always knew she wanted to go back for a masters degree of sorts, plus she loves reading and writing! Molly talks about how she grew up poor and the only way she was going to law school was with a full ride. And of course she ended up getting a “Woodrow Scholarship” and was able to attend Emory Law!!
While in law school she loved participating in clubs and being a student leader! She had pressure to go to big law, or maybe try patent law. However, after participating in the GA innocence clinic, Molly knew she wanted to be a public defender. And the rest is history! She says being in court is what really solidified her feelings! Now as a solo practitioner she has found her happy place where her independence reigns free! Molly said when it comes tp starting your firm "Don’t reinvent the wheel", and hire someone to help you get started! #handholding
