Melanie Nezer

In his first telephone podcast, Mike Tein talks with attorney Melanie Nezer. Nezer is the senior vice president for public affairs for HAIS, where the motto is "Welcome the stranger. Protect the refugee." She explains how HAIS' focus has shifted, yet its purpose and mission remain the same. Nezer offers passionate advice for young lawyers about why it is so important to follow your heart throughout your career...and how the goals she created back in her 20s, are still relevant today. She also shares an important lesson she learned during her first week of work. Here's a hint: it happened during a trial, and she made sure it never happened again.
