legal matters

This week we are remastering a favorite of ours from this time last year.

Kevin Mottley is regarded as one of the top traumatic brain injury (TBI) attorneys in the state of Virginia. Based in Richmond, he handles the complex, life-altering cases that many lawyers are not equipped to handle. On top of that, he is connected with lawyers around the country to provide referrals to the right legal team for people’s cases. His journey to where he is today is one of grit and determination. If you’re thinking about growing within a niche field of law, be sure to listen closely! Also, be on the lookout for a follow-up episode with Kevin that we recorded earlier and are planning to push out later this month!

Family building is complicated no matter who you are. But for queer and trans families, there are some unique hurdles. So what can you do to make sure your family feels protected? 

On today’s short snack, we welcome back Lara Hayden (she/they), MSW LICSW, to talk about some of the legal specifics of LGBTQIA+ family building. What legal issues should LGBTQIA+ folks think about when beginning a family building journey? What resources are out there? What are the options and protections around sperm donations? Even though legal issues often make us think about worst case scenarios, for Lara, the goal is to be prepared, not scared!
