Episode 65: Behind the Scenes of Trial Prep

In this solo episode of The Lawmas Podcast, Lacey talks abut the behind the scenes on what really goes into preparing a criminal case for trial. From highly technical DUI cases involving field sobriety tests, breathalyzer machines, and suppression issues, to credibility-driven “he said, she said” cases, she explains how defense attorneys analyze evidence, build strategy, and prepare witnesses long before stepping into the courtroom. Lacey also shares the emotional side of trial work, why cases involving innocent clients are often the hardest, how jury decisions can weigh heavily on attorneys, and the mental toll of preparing for high-stakes trials that may fall through at the last minute. It’s an honest look at the pressure, preparation, and responsibility that comes with criminal defense work. #thelawmaspodcast #laceyandlauren #lawmoms #legalpodcast
