Our guest this week is Pina Di Biase a lawyer, life coach, fashion blogger, and one of our very own goodlawyers.
As you will hear, Pina’s legal journey is a little unconventional. After law school, she quickly discovered that a traditional law firm wasn’t a great fit for her, and decided to strike out on her own.
Despite forgoing the conventional mentorship found to one degree or another in a firm, Pina was able to build a successful and diverse practice. Her curiosity and her genuine desire to add value to her clients motivated her to develop pretty much any skill or competency she needed to get the job done right.
While her technical prowess and abilities as a lawyer have never been in doubt, what sets Pina apart from many others is her insistence on practicing law in a manner true to herself (many fantastic examples given in the episode).
