Helping Families Through Mental Health & Addiction Crises with Mark Astor | Law 101
Law 101 welcomes Mr. Mark Astor, a partner at Astor Simovitch Law, for a powerful conversation about helping families facing mental health and substance use crises.
With 32 years of legal experience, Mark shares how he started his firm in a Boca Raton library in February 2016, driven by a mission despite having little money. He reflects on the 14 months of persistence it took to receive his first case in his chosen specialty, the unexpected loss of his father, and a behavioral health crisis within his own family.
Ten years later, that mission has grown into a dedicated team serving families during some of their most difficult moments. Join host Daniel Lucas as Mark explores the personal experiences behind his work, the determination required to build a purpose driven practice, and why helping other families became part of saving his own.
