That One Case

In this episode of That One Case, we talk with Joanne Ericksen, founder of, and attorney at, Ericksen Law Firm in Houston, Texas. After spending years working for big firms that were more concerned with the bottom line than helping their clients, Joanne created the Ericksen Law firm, which focuses on "advocating fiercely" for clients over billable hours.

On today’s show, Joanne shares with us why she loves tackling cases as a small law firm. She also tells us why her years of work as a legal secretary and intellectual property paralegal were so valuable to her career as an attorney, and how trying to reach a settlement can provide the best financial and emotional resolutions for clients.
