How did Diane Shaw's childhood shape her career in law?
I was the runt of four kids, the youngest, and a tomboy, had a lot of grit as a child and just never stopped that determination to build the empire of the law firm that specializes for physicians. Diane K. Shaw is a tenacious, highly decorated litigator and the founder of Shaw & Associates, a law firm specializing in the defense of medical professionals. With nearly four decades of trial experience and membership in the prestigious Texas Bar Foundation, she has established herself as a formidable advocate for physicians, successfully navigating complex disputes against federal boards and private insurers alike. If they're going to be with attorney, they want to be with attorney that they trust and know and will fight for them.
And that's a big way that we get business. You do have to stay balanced. And so I just make as much time as I can for my family. And we have a working cattle ranch in Colorado and go there. They're silent and I just jumped up and started talking and he said, Diane.
My name's Rudy Moore, host of Living the Red Life podcast, and I'm here to change the way you see your life in your earpiece every single week. If you're ready to start living the red life, ditch the blue pill, take the red pill, join me in Wonderland and change your life. Welcome back to another episode of the Living Your Legacy podcast, the Red Life edition. We are in the midst of the chaos of Mastermind Week, but that's not going to stop us here with our full production schedule. We just wrapped up another amazing episode for Women in Power. Joining me today is actually Diane Shaw. She is a trial attorney and a cattle rancher who fights for physicians in their time of greatest need. Is that correct, ma'am?
That is true.
Right on. Welcome to the show.
That is my passion. Thank you.
I love it. What brings you to the show? What are we going to learn about you in your episode for Women in Power?
That I was the runt of four kids, the youngest, and a tomboy, had a lot of grit as a child, and just never stopped that determination to build the empire of the law firm that specializes for physicians.
Right on. Did you always want to be a lawyer, even as a little girl?
Well, pretty early on. I was sort of a calling. I knew I could talk in front of people. And I was in drama and kind of got derailed from that. And that's in my story. But I used my ability to speak to help. And I really got into a niche of helping physicians. And I have a passion for that because all they want to do is help people. And they are just bombarded from lawsuits, regulations, board issues. It goes on and on. I'm there to help them.
I was going to say, you know you're successful when you're getting sued. Someone's trying to bring you down. A lot of people that are unknowingly helping people because they're impulsive, they don't know that sometimes they could be breaking the law or getting themselves into trouble. How are you nurturing and educating these folks?
We nurture and educate through the process of every single client and helping them understand there's a lot of regulatory documentation issues. I don't actually get into when they break the law. Gotcha, gotcha. Could be on the peripheral of that, but I'm not a criminal law. I understand. I just do civil law. And we often educate our clients about here's what you need to look out for. We have some newsletters that we send them and some talks that we do. And then, of course, it is case-by-case basis as to whatever issue they're dealing with. And we have about 60 of those issues right now.
Oh, wow. 60 is quite the even number to bounce around. How did you know that this was your calling? Where did you start your practice and how did you niche up into physicians?
I started my practice actually at a law firm that specialized in medical malpractice defense. I knew I wanted to be a trial attorney. I did law clerk.
What unique challenges do trial attorneys face in the courtroom?
for different firms in the summer. And I just loved the, every single case is a new area of medicine or issue. And I love the people. So I knew that they needed help.
