In a recent episode of The Jabot podcast, Kelly Hyman, the founder of The Hyman Law Firm and host of the true crime podcast Once Upon a Crime in Hollywood, shares her journey from childhood acting to becoming an influential lawyer. Hyman, who was supported in her early acting career by family friend Charlton Heston, now focuses her legal practice on advocating for victims of human trafficking and handling complex mass tort cases.
Hyman discusses the challenges and rewards of founding her own firm while balancing her passion for justice and practicality. She also delves into her inspiration for launching a podcast centered on Hollywood-related crimes, particularly those involving female victims, driven by her longstanding fascination with true crime and mysteries.
The Jabot podcast, an initiative from Above the Law, aims to address the unique challenges faced by diverse populations in the legal industry, including women, people of color, and LGBTQIA individuals. Named after Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s iconic jabot, the podcast serves as a reminder of the enduring power of dissent and diverse voices in the legal landscape.
