In the latest episode of The Jabot podcast, I welcome Kelly Hyman, founder of the Hyman Law Firm and host of “Once Upon a Crime in Hollywood.” Journey through Kelly’s shift from a childhood acting career to making a significant impact in the legal world, advocating for victims of human trafficking, and navigating the complexities of starting her own law firm. Kelly shares her passion for true crime and how her podcast, focusing on Hollywood-related cases with female victims, aims to make a difference. An inspiring listen for anyone interested in law, justice, and compelling storytelling!
Highlights
- The impact of a 65-year-old law school peer.
- Supported into acting career by family friend Charlton Heston.
- Founding her own firm: balancing passion and practicality.
- Human trafficking and mass torts: main practice areas.
- Podcasting inspired by appearance on Nancy Grace’s show.
- True crime podcast motivated by fascination with mysteries.
- Focus on cases affecting women in the entertainment industry.
The Jabot podcast is an offshoot of the Above the Law brand focused on the challenges women, people of color, LGBTQIA, and other diverse populations face in the legal industry. Our name comes from none other than the Notorious Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the jabot (decorative collar) she wore when delivering dissents from the bench. It’s a reminder that even when we aren’t winning, we’re still a powerful force to be reckoned with.
Happy listening!
