Pryor Cashman Partner Judith L. Poller, Co-Chair of the firm’s Family Law Group, joined the Direct Examination podcast for a wide-ranging conversation on the realities of practicing family law at the highest levels. The episode, presented by UBS Wealth Management in collaboration with the Beverly Hills Bar Association, features hosts Dan Bemel and Lauren Youngman.

As a top-ranked attorney with more than 25 years of experience, Judy shares insights into representing executives, entrepreneurs, and high-profile clients in complex matrimonial matters. She discusses building strong cases, managing difficult clients and opposing counsel, and crafting arguments that resonate with the bench.

The episode also addresses the growing issue of incivility in family law, with Judy emphasizing that a calm, strategic approach is more effective than aggressive tactics. She reflects on how her own divorce deepened her empathy for clients and offers candid advice to younger attorneys on networking and career growth.
