Legal Grounds | Conversations on Life, Leadership & Law
After over three decades in the legal-trenches, Mike Bassett has learned to appreciate two things: good conversation & good coffee.
Legal Grounds is an ongoing series of interviews with the people who are shaping our world - legal or otherwise. Witty, irreverent, & always thoughtful, these brief discussions fall somewhere between “Night Court” & Hopper’s “Nighthawks At The Diner”.
With that in mind, we promise your coffee will still be warm when the podcast is done.

Legal Grounds | Conversations on Life, Leadership & Law
Legal Grounds | Frank Ramos
This week’s episode feels like a throwback to the early days of Legal Grounds when it was just two lawyers talking shop.
Now don’t get me wrong, I love getting to talk with folks about pretty much anything and I’m always thrilled by how diverse my pool of guests continues to be. But something about getting into the nitty-gritty practice of trial law with someone who shares the same passion for the craft just hits different.
My guest this week is Frank Ramos, a partner at Clarke Silverglate, where he practices in the areas of commercial litigation, drug & medical devices, products, and catastrophic personal injury.
But his talents don’t stop there.
Frank has written and edited over two dozen books, serves on multiple boards, runs his own consulting and resources firm (The Miami Mentor), and still finds time to host the DRI Podcast, “In Conversation With…”
Frank and I discuss the difficulties of transitioning from law school to actual practice, the need for a more apprenticeship-based approach to training and learning, and why getting to know other’s stories is the corner-stone of leadership.
Enjoy the show!
