Ep. 60 Jaclyn Rodriquez- Family Law Attorney: Time Blinding, Psychological Abuse and The Art of Extreme Perseverance.

Jaclyn Rodriguez is an English-Spanish bilingual Attorney at the Urbina Law Firm, LLC, focusing on family law and immigration. She was born in Atlanta, Georgia, but soon after moved to San Juan, Puerto Rico where she was raised with her paternal Cuban family until she was 16. In 1999, she returned to Atlanta, with her mother and stepfather, completed high school, and went on to college. In May 2006 she graduated from The University of Georgia with a B.A. in Spanish and in May 2012 she received her J.D. from John Marshall Law School. Ms. Rodriguez has worked in the legal field as a Paralegal/Law Clerk since 2013 focusing mainly in the areas of Immigration, Family and Juvenile Law. In 2012 she completed an externship at the Truancy Intervention Project, a dropout prevention program serving children in the Atlanta and Fulton County Public School System who are chronically absent from school. She is an advocate for families and children who provides representation in all immigration and family law matters, including divorce, custody, and child support issues. She works closely with our clients providing legal advice and assists clients with daily needs, to prepare for trials and mediations. During her time off, Mrs. Rodriguez enjoys spending her free time with her husband, and their two pups, James & Diego. Jaclyn is expecting her first baby in 16 weeks. I love black cats and have owned/rescued 3 so far. I co-founded with my husband and served on the board of FureverMatch Inc., a non-profit animal rescue in 2019. I taught English in Peru at a Cultural Institute for 3 months after graduating from UGA in 2006. My parents were divorced twice when I was 3 and 7, and my mom had to take my dad back to court when I was 14/15. It took me 8 years to pass the bar exam, 3 of those years due to the fact that I was blindly in a very toxic relationship with a narcissist. Breaking free and rebuilding my life was the best decision I could have made. My husband and I met online and were engaged in less than 6 mos. and got married in under a year. It's ok to be single and start over. Your life can start at any age even if you have never been married. I got married at 35 for the first time and at 37 finally passed the bar and am expecting my first child. It is never too late to find happiness.
