概要

 What happens when a boy adopted at four months old in Green Bay, Wisconsin grows up to become one of only a hundred divorce trial lawyers in the country selected for the American College of Family Trial Lawyers — and then represents the most famous athlete in the world? In this episode of the Trustcast Show, Zane Myers speaks with James Quigley, equity partner at Beermann Law, Chicago's largest divorce-only family law firm, about his extraordinary journey from small-town Wisconsin to the Michael Jordan divorce, the founding of a sports and entertainment division built on discretion, and what thirty-five years of high-stakes family law actually looks like from the inside. James shares why he refuses to tell clients what they want to hear, how a courtroom testimony about narcissistic abuse moved him to silence, and when he will walk away from a case rather than let a train go off the rails. They also discuss what it was like meeting his biological Sicilian family in a Milwaukee restaurant, the moving visit to his birth mother Barbara wearing a Packers shirt and Chuck Taylors shortly before she passed, and the day he drove to a Denny's parking lot in the Chicago suburbs and picked up his son Giovanni rather than let him spend one more night in foster care. James Quigley is an equity partner and founder of the Sports and Entertainment Division at Beermann Law in Chicago, Illinois. He is a Fellow of the American College of Family Trial Lawyers.
