Why do so many people walk into courtrooms hopeful, only to leave feeling powerless? In this episode, host Dashawn Mayweather explores the imbalance between powerful attorneys and the clients who depend on them.Through her own story of a divorce finalized without her knowledge and a later malpractice fight, Dashawn reveals how the system often tilts toward attorneys with status, political connections, and influence — leaving clients silenced, sidelined, and betrayed.You’ll hear why clients so often feel powerless:Silence — unanswered calls and emailsDelays — endless postponements that break people downJargon — confusing language that keeps clients dependentControl of information — when attorneys hold all the updates and clients are left in the darkThis is not an attack on all attorneys. Many good lawyers fight tirelessly for their clients. But when even a few abuse their power, the justice system’s cracks become clear.Powerful attorneys and powerless clients shouldn’t define our courts. This episode sheds light on why the imbalance exists and why real accountability, transparency, and access to justice matter for everyone.Closing reminder: Being powerless is not the same as being defeated. Just because the gavel drops doesn’t mean the story ends. Your voice still matters.Learn more at www.thebrokengavel.comKeywords: The Broken Gavel, powerful attorneys, powerless clients, legal malpractice, attorney accountability, client rights, access to justice, attorney misconduct, legal system reform, court reform, legal ethics, attorney negligence, legal system imbalance, client advocacy, courtroom inequality, attorney power dynamics
