What does it take to run a family law practice? From high-stakes custody battles to the truth behind prenups, Mark Kachhi, Founder of The Mark Kachhi Law Firm, has seen it all. In this episode of Hot Docket, he shares why he chose family law over other legal fields, the challenges he faces, and the unexpected rewards of the practice.

Mark breaks down prenups and postnups, explaining why they’re more common than you think and when they’re essential. He also reveals the biggest mistakes people make in divorce and custody disputes, plus how a strong strategy can make all the difference. As a solo practitioner, Mark offers an inside look at the dynamics of family law and the importance of building relationships—even with opposing counsel.
