In Episode 8 of the Prachtical Law Podcast, host Christopher Pracht sits down with Rasheda Robinson, managing attorney at Pracht Injury Lawyers, to explore her remarkable journey from Anderson native to dedicated trial lawyer. Rasheda shares the deeply personal story of pursuing her dream of practicing law while raising five children, working full-time, and commuting from Anderson, South Carolina to Atlanta, Georgia five days a week to attend John Marshall Law School. She reflects on the family support, community village, and unwavering determination that made it possible. Rasheda discusses her formative years as a public defender in Pickens County, where she learned to see clients as humans deserving advocacy, and her transition to representing injury victims at Pracht Injury Lawyers. She offers candid insight into the realities injury victims face, the challenges of insurance limits, and why community roots matter in trial work. Rasheda also shares her vision for expanding into daycare and nursing home abuse cases, her commitment to being a voice for the voiceless, and her advice to young lawyers: chase your dream until you can't chase it anymore.
