About this listen
Scott Peterson spent seven years on the defense side before making a decision that changed his career.
It was not driven by money or opportunity. It came from a moment where the work no longer aligned with who he wanted to be.
In this episode, Scott explains what pushed him to leave and what it actually takes to build a plaintiff-side practice. He talks about the risk most lawyers underestimate, the emotional weight of the cases, and the discipline required to choose the right work.
There is also a clear look at why many lawyers struggle when they go out on their own, especially when they bring a defense mindset into a contingency-based practice.
This is a grounded conversation about risk tolerance, case selection, and building a practice that reflects how you want to live and work.
