Ep: 1804 Meg Groff - Not If I Can Help It

For more than three decades, family court attorney Meg Groff, based in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, worked 60-hour weeks, often for little or no pay, defending the rights of poor and abused women and their children against a legal, social, and economic system cruelly stacked against them. She now tells the stories of some of her most memorable clients—brave women with few resources who fought for justice with amazing resilience and determination. Now she is partnering with a team of national nonprofit organizations to share her experiences with key influencers—lawyers, judges, legislators—who have the power to reform the family court system that has failed so many women and children. The goal is to help legal professionals learn how poor women and their families are being victimized in family courts, and about changes in policy and practice that can save lives. She is a recognized authority on issues of child custody and domestic abuse - handling huge caseloads and winning countless cases.
