Legal Grounds | Conversations on Life, Leadership & Law
After over three decades in the legal-trenches, Mike Bassett has learned to appreciate two things: good conversation & good coffee.
Legal Grounds is an ongoing series of interviews with the people who are shaping our world - legal or otherwise. Witty, irreverent, & always thoughtful, these brief discussions fall somewhere between “Night Court” & Hopper’s “Nighthawks At The Diner”.
With that in mind, we promise your coffee will still be warm when the podcast is done.

Legal Grounds | Larry Praeger On Effective Client Communication, How to Leverage Existing Resources, & Navigating the Nuances of Family Law
There are few areas of the practice that I think are quite as “client-facing” as Family Law.
This is not to say that clients take a back-seat when it comes to other kinds of legal matters, but it should come as no surprise to anyone - regardless of legal acumen - that when you’re dealing with people's money AND family, communication can make or break a case.
My guest this week knows this better than most.
Larry Praeger is board certified as a Family Law Specialist, and has been a practicing attorney for nearly four and a half decades.
His Dallas based practice focuses on family law, with a specialty in mediation, and professional licensing issues.
For the past 30 years Larry has gained extensive experience in all aspects of Family Law, as well as preparing and defending mental health professionals in family law matters and helping them prepare for the litigation process.
Having started his career as Assistant County Attorney in Bell Texas, he has been an author, speaker, and as of last year, Larry has added Professor to the growing list of titles.
We discuss his tips for effective client communication, how the legal landscape has changed, and the many nuances of Family Law.
Enjoy the show.
