Law School Extra Credit Gone Live: Blended Families, Estate Drama & a Dean Surprise | Attorney Patrick Smith Show
Podcasts > The Attorney Patrick Smith Show
Saturday, March 28, 2026
Join Attorney Patrick Smith live from the Bone Studios in beautiful St. Petersburg, Florida, for a high-energy episode packed with real talk on estate planning and probate.
This week, we help 3L law student Nico DeVito earn extra credit for his Stetson University College of Law estate planning class by putting him on the air to interview Patrick about a high-stakes, multi-million-dollar estate settlement involving blended family tension, suspicion of foul play, and intense family volatility. Patrick shares hard-won lessons from 19+ years and 25,000+ cases—including how to set the right tone in explosive meetings, the economics of litigation, creditor claims, and why so many disputes stem from grief, regret, or unresolved issues with the decedent.
Adding major pressure (and wisdom): a surprise in-studio appearance by Stetson Law Dean Benjamin Barrows, who observes and chimes in on family conflicts, mediation, and practical planning tips. We also take your calls on will contests, fiduciary breaches, updating revocable trusts, and more.
Plus: a heartfelt Top Gun tribute and RIP to James Tolkan (Stinger), Isaiah the Magnificent powering through post-hospital meds, Spike on the mic, a Model Senate recap, and a soulful sing-along finale with "Take Me Home, Country Roads" and "Soul Man."
Raw, real radio with practical estate planning advice, listener interaction, humor, and faith-based encouragement. Whether you're planning your own estate, dealing with family dynamics, or just love great legal storytelling—this one's for you.
