How to Protect Your Reputation and Business During a Legal Crisi with Ta...


This week, we explore how divorce, drink-driving offences, and defamation can cripple a career or clinic if not handled properly, and why most people react far too late. My guest, Tad Nelson, a criminal defence lawyer and “Super Lawyer” from Galveston County, Texas, who brings more than three decades of courtroom experience, plus a master’s degree in forensic toxicology, to our conversation.

Tad has seen the best and worst of human behaviour, and his insights apply directly to business owners navigating legal, personal, or reputation challenges.

Tad explains the importance of acting fast, staying calm, and getting professional help, both legal and PR,  before the fallout damages your brand, income, or family. He also shares his philosophy that a strong reputation isn’t repaired after a crisis; it’s built long before one happens.

This episode is packed with practical advice on staying ahead of legal problems, managing perception in the age of social media, and leading with integrity under pressure. Whether you’re a podiatrist, clinic owner, or entrepreneur in any field, you’ll take away lessons on communication, humility, and protecting the business you’ve worked so hard to build.

Looking for A Little Business Guidance? 

A podiatrist I spoke with in early 2024 earned an additional $40,000 by following my advice from a 30-minute free Zoom call.  This was probably the best 30-minute investment of their lives. Think about it: you have everything to gain and nothing to lose, and it’s not a TRAP. I’m not out to get you; I’m here to help you. 

Please follow the link below to my calendar and schedule a free 30-minute Zoom call.

I guarantee that after we talk, you will have far more clarity on what is best for you, your business and your career. ONLINE CALENDAR
