from Beyond the Bar Podcast · host Denisa Tova
What does it take to walk away from a six-figure big law salary — with two young kids at home — to start over in a completely different practice? Morghan Richardson did exactly that, and it changed everything.Morghan is a Partner and Co-Chair of the Matrimonial & Family Law practice at Tarter Krinsky & Drogin LLP, where she represents high-net-worth individuals, public figures, and innovators through some of the most complex and emotionally charged legal battles imaginable. But before she was a fierce litigator, she was a newspaper reporter covering cops, courts, and executions in Texas and Florida — and it was a single moment at a death row execution that made her put down her pen and pick up a law degree.Morghan opens up about why she left corporate litigation to follow her passion for family law, her own divorce and why she still takes vacations with her ex and their kids, what it's really like to go through custody litigation as a family law attorney yourself, how she uses social media and her blog "The Divorce Artist" to humanize the legal process, the advice she gives every new attorney about money, passion, and career pivots, and life with a blended family of five kids, cycling through NYC, and the books she's quietly working on.Whether you're navigating a divorce, considering a legal career, or just love a story about reinvention — this episode is for you.🔔 Subscribe so you never miss an episode of Beyond the Bar Podcast! 📲 Connect with Morghan Richardson: https://www.morghanrichardson.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/morghanmartellrichardson/Firm: https://www.tarterkrinsky.com/morghan-richardson 📖 Visit her blog The Divorce Artist: https://thedivorceartist.com/Watch more episodes and connect with Denisa here: https://tovaretirement.com/podcast/LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/denisatovaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/denisatovaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/denisatova/Podcast Production by HypeCats.com, webinars, and podcasts: https://hypecats.com.
