In this episode of The Newfangled Lawyer, Patrick Patino and Maddison Koper get real about what it means to build a legal career—and a life—on your own terms. They swap stories about running your own firm, blending personal and professional identities, and choosing authenticity over outdated expectations. Maddison shares her journey of creating a law practice that actually fits who she is, while Patrick reflects on why being a lawyer today means designing your own path instead of following someone else's. If you have ever wondered whether you can be both yourself and a successful lawyer, this conversation will show you the answer is a resounding yes.
