A transcript of this podcast is easily available at lovethylawyer.com.

 Mark Shaiken is a retired bankruptcy attorney who spent nearly four decades practicing law across five states. After stepping away from the courtroom, he became an author and photographer, writing legal thrillers and memoir-style reflections on his life and career. He co-authored treatises used in law schools and later self-published a series of fiction books rooted in real bankruptcy concepts. His memoir It’s What Makes Me… Me compiles essays that explore the personal and professional moments that shaped him, from childhood moves to legal milestones and post-retirement reflections. In this episode, Mark talks about his writing process, why he left the law, how fiction helped him revisit past experiences, and how sudden change shaped his identity from an early age. He also shares thoughts on marketing books, leaving a legal career, and why he would like to meet Michael Connolly, the author of the Lincoln Lawyer book series. Tune in to hear what it feels like to walk away from a 38-year career, how a lawyer becomes a novelist, and what it means to reflect on a lifetime of reinvention.
