About This Podcast

Hear about some of the most interesting Australian legal cases, including deceased estates, forged Wills, financial abuse, divorce and family law disputes, professional and medical negligence, and any other case that has enough drama to be worth discussing. I'm a solicitor specialising in Wills, Estates & Elder Law, so I kinda know what I'm talking about and will try to make it all make sense. This podcast is absolutely not legal advice or a dull legal lecture, but is more a legal soap opera! If you love true crime, but need a break from all the murder, this is the podcast for you!
