Pat Montes on Language & Culture in Attorney-Client Relationships

Pat Montes on Language & Culture in Attorney-Client Relationships

"We are in a different mindset than our clients are. Even that is a barrier because, at that point, we don't see the context where our client comes from."

This week's TLC podcast features trial lawyer Pat Montes, who offers a thought-provoking look at how language and culture impact a lawyer's relationships with their clients. Bringing to the table her unique perspective as a bilingual and bicultural attorney, Pat stresses the importance of working with clients in their native language rather than forcing them to struggle to convey their authentic story in English.

As Pat and host Rafe Foreman continue their discussion, they raise a new set of questions: How can a client relate to their lawyer when they come from entirely different backgrounds? And how can a lawyer discover their client's story when their cultural differences, despite both speaking English, effectively mean they're speaking different languages?

The answers to these questions and more are explored in-depth in this engaging podcast episode. Listen along as Pat and Rafe provide necessary insight into connecting with a diverse set of clients and ensuring equal justice for all.
