In this month’s edition of Lawyer Monthly, we bring forward a powerful collection of stories, insights, and expert perspectives that reflect the evolving landscape of law, accountability, and advocacy across the United States.

We open with our front-cover feature, 'Why Whistleblowers Speak Out' where Jesse Weinstein of Phillips & Associates examines the forces that push employees to come forward, the legal shields designed to protect them, and the cultural shift unfolding inside workplaces nationwide. His analysis is both timely and urgent, adding clarity to an issue increasingly at the centre of public debate.

We also spotlight Marie Schoeb of Busciglio Sheridan & Schoeb, whose career spans criminal prosecution, personal injury, and property law. Her interview offers a compelling look at what it means to fight for clients with compassion, strategy, and unwavering commitment; a reminder of the human side of legal practice.

In our Expert Insight section, industry leaders share guidance rooted in decades of experience. HGSK attorney Jared M. Teich breaks down the complexities of Pennsylvania auto insurance and accident claims, helping drivers understand their rights and responsibilities long before a crisis strikes. Laurie Webb Daniel of Webb Daniel Friedlander LLP takes us inside the world of appellate advocacy, revealing how cases are won long after the final gavel falls.

Our Special Features dive deep into the challenges many clients face every day and the legal expertise required to navigate them. From why a skilled attorney is essential in complex divorce proceedings, to the common mistakes that can jeopardise telematics evidence in car accident litigation, to the most persistent myths employers hold about employment law, these articles provide clarity, caution, and practical insight.

Whether you’re a practitioner, a student, or someone seeking a deeper understanding of the law’s real-world impact, we hope this issue informs, inspires, and sharpens your perspective on the work that moves justice forward.

Happy reading! Warm regards,
