Hassan Shibly and Myron Philop dissect family court strategies, detailing how false allegations and social media campaigns can destroy lives, as seen in Shibly's near-total loss of assets before his vindication. They advise against legal marriage unless necessary for immigration, recommending cohabitation agreements and prenups instead to avoid state interference and financial windfalls that incentivize divorce. Experts stress hiring forensic accountants for complex cases, never speaking to law enforcement without counsel, and using security cameras to prevent "honey traps." Ultimately, the discussion frames family law as a battlefield where financial preparation and strict adherence to legal protocols are essential for protecting freedom against government overreach and malicious accusations.

What's up?
Welcome to the Fresh Hair Podcast, man.
We got a special guest in the house.

I've been focusing more on doing the debrief on Myron Gaines X. Fresh has been blowing up his TikTok.
Don't worry, guys.
We will bring the day shows back eventually.
Obviously, when there's special episodes like this or whatever, I think this one is too important to pass up.
Because I'm going to expose you guys to one of my secret weapons, actually, with Hassan.
And do we have anything else before we introduce the guests?
Big show on Friday with some guests.
You want to tell them who?

But we want to get you guys some sauce tonight.
We're live everywhere, live on my channel, Fresh of Fit, Rumble, Kick, all the different platforms, because this episode is obviously going to be very important.
You know, episodes like this is what literally you can go back to later on and utilize to kind of keep yourself from being in really bad positions.
And I want to introduce you guys to a friend of mine, my lawyer as well.
Hassan, welcome to the show, my friend.
Thank you, brother.
Blessing to be here.
Yes, happy to have you.
For the people that might not know who you are and what you do, can you please introduce yourself?
Protecting the Constitution Against Overreach00:10:20
Yeah, sure.
So, I actually immigrated to the U.S. when I was four years old.
We were American by choice.
A lot of times, people are born here and they don't realize what a treasure it is to be an American unless you've had the opportunity to live somewhere else where you don't have the freedom and the liberty in the U.S. Constitution.
And that, unfortunately, way too many Americans take for granted.
So, I think sometimes people, if they hear that you're born overseas, they may see you as less than American.
But actually, I think that makes me more of an American because my dad's an oral surgeon.
My mom's a professor of orthodontics.
We could have lived anywhere in the world, and we chose to immigrate to the US when I was four years old.
Grew up in Buffalo, New York.
And, you know, when I was young, I always wanted to be an airline pilot until I had a very interesting incident when I was 17 years old.
Actually, I remember I could already see the jokes coming.
9 11.
You must have wanted to be a pilot.
What?
Literally on 9 11, that morning, I was writing my flight instructor an email to schedule my next flight lesson.
Yeah.
When I saw the news that I was like, okay, delete.
Yeah.
You know, it's not happening.
You're a crazy joke.
Yeah.
But what happened is when I was just turned 18, there you go.
But when I was 18, I was crossing back the border from Canada.
I had attended a conference in Canada, and as I was crossing across the border, they told my mom to go in for a random inspection.
So I said, My mom said, What do you mean random?
I said, Mom, random means they saw your headscarf.
You know, she's a Muslim woman, just like the Virgin Mary.
She covers her hair, it's part of our tradition.
And I was joking, I didn't think that would be the case, but I was shocked at what I saw.
When I walked in the room, there were 40 members of the American Muslim community, all U.S. citizens who were.
Held for six hours, fingerprinted, first interrogated, creed like criminals.
And the only offense that we had committed was attending a faith based conference in Canada.
And I told the officer, I said, while you're wasting time with this elderly couple and these young kids, and you're interrogating us about our political beliefs, our religious beliefs, real criminals could be making it across the border.
And that's exactly what happened.
A man who killed an entire family in Canada made it across the border with the bloody weapons in his car that same night.
Oh, wow.
That same night.
But they weren't, you know, they weren't targeting him.
So.
It made me realize that that kind of anti Muslim hatred on the part of the government wasn't hurting the Muslim community.
What was hurting was America as a whole.
It was undermining all of our freedom.
It was undermining freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of association.
The fundamental principles that make America great, what makes America an incredible nation, is our legal system.
And that's why when I saw that happen, I realized man, listen, we immigrated from Syria to come to America.
We became American by choice.
Why?
Because America has one thing.
That you can't find almost anywhere else.
And that's the U.S. Constitution and our legal system.
It's one of the best in the world.
Now, it's still got its issues.
And trust me, we'll talk about that, especially talk about family law and all the other crazy things.
We're going to cover it all up.
Family law, criminal, literally everything for you guys.
And we're going to open it up also for you guys with a QA.
And you guys will be able to ask questions.
We'll open up the phone lines as well and give you guys a bunch of value on this episode.
So, sorry, go ahead.
No, absolutely.
So ultimately, what happened is.
When I experienced that, I realized, like, man, we can't take our liberty for granted.
And now, what we realize is all this fear and hate that was being promoted against the Muslim community, it was actually heavily Zionist funded to undermine our liberty so that we can't have the impact by being politically engaged because they're afraid of what would happen if the American Muslim community and others speak out about what Israel is doing and the Zionist control that they have over American influence.
So, at that age of 18, I decided I wanted to become a civil rights attorney.
You know, I wanted to protect the Constitution.
I said, We immigrated to America because of the Constitution, and the Constitution is under attack.
Who's attacking it?
Zionist anti Muslim haters that are trying to demonize the American Muslim community and use that as an excuse to pass laws like the Patriot Act, FISA, other things that give the government greater overreach, greater control, and less civil rights and less civil liberties for all Americans.
So I said, We're here for the liberty.
I want to commit my life to protect the Constitution.
So I ultimately ended up going to law school after studying political science, and then Came down to Florida, became executive director of the largest American Muslim civil rights organizations.
But what I was always proud of listen, if you just protect rights for just one particular group, then you're not doing anyone a favor.
You have to protect civil rights and justice in the Constitution for everyone.
And that's what I made Care Florida about.
I made it about protecting the Constitution for everyone.
We had white clients, black clients, everyone.
We represented police officers.
Anybody whose constitutional rights were protected, we stood up for them.
And I'm very proud of that.
Did that for 10 years, built it into one of the largest civil rights organizations in the country until I went.
Through a very personal difficulty and trial and tribulation, which was a blessing.
And that's what I want your viewers to understand.
Listen, in life, you may face hardships, trials, calamities, loss, but you just have to have absolute conviction that the source of the universe never takes, it only gives.
He only gives.
So every loss is an opportunity.
When you go through a challenge, when you go through a hardship, when you go through adversity, don't fall into hopelessness.
Ask yourself, what is the opportunity hidden for me in this?
So I had gone for 10 years focusing on protecting Americans from the government.
Protecting against FBI overreach.
That's what got me into law firms.
Exactly.
I started with protecting people at the border.
If they face unjust searches and seizures at the border, cell phone search, and we could talk about all this.
What do you do if you're stopped at the border, if you're talking at the border?
But that's what started me fighting government overreach at the border.
And then as I started doing this work, then fighting the FBI overreach domestically.
Because the FBI, unfortunately, there's a lot of corrupt people within.
And we saw that.
We saw that.
And we saw some of that within.
With January 6th.
And I think the interesting thing is, before then, a lot on the right were okay with the government targeting the Muslim community, for example.
But then after January 6th, they realized, well, uh oh, maybe the government is out of control.
And that's what people got to understand.
It's not about the difference of your religion or your race, it's about those in power and those who don't have power.
And unfortunately, those in power often can be very corrupt.
And we saw that with Epstein and the pedophiles and all sorts of things.
I don't want to derail the conversation.
But ultimately, for 10 years, I traveled the country raising awareness about FDA.
FBI overreach and why you should never speak to the FBI without a lawyer.
You should never speak to law enforcement without a lawyer.
That is protected by the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the right to remain silent, the Sixth Amendment, the right to an attorney.
Those laws were put there not to protect the criminals and the crooked.
It was put there to protect the innocent people because when innocent people speak to law enforcement without an attorney, innocent people get in trouble.
That's why President Trump himself, when he was facing investigations and the FBI wanted to speak with him, he said, I'm not going to speak to you without an attorney.
And I've done that for my clients, man.
I get clients.
You know, they could be medical students, you know, all sorts of different people.
And if I want to talk to them, I call the agent.
I'm like, listen.
I take my cues from the president.
When you guys want to talk to him, he said, not without my lawyer.
Also, I cannot advise my client to speak to you guys without an attorney.
And if you're doing your job and you're doing it fairly and honestly, you should have no problem with an attorney being involved.
So, the focus of my work for 10 years really was protecting people from the border, at the border, and then protecting people from FBI overreach and harassment and false criminal investigations.
Also, there's just so many people.
I mean, I have some clients that are world renowned that because they have power, status, position, and they use it nobly.
But then you have someone who has a vendetta, maybe a personal interest in them, can't get with them.
And so they start making false accusations against them.
I mean, I have really high profile clients that have been falsely accused of rape and different things.
And thank God we were able to clear their names before charges happen.
Because if the charges happen, the damage is already done.
And the reason we were able to protect them also is because they didn't do the one fatal mistake that can really screw up an innocent person's life.
And that is that they didn't speak to law enforcement without a lawyer.
You know, it's one of the most dangerous things that you can do.
Raising awareness and then representing people that are targeted unjustly by the FBI and by the government or facing false criminal investigations.
So that was the bulk of my work.
You include false sexual allegations, which is a huge one nowadays.
That's really gotten the whole Me Too movement has created a monster where lots of guys get falsely accused of this.
Bro, it's a tool.
It's like a common tool that is used by those trying to gain advantage in litigation.
So you got to understand where do a lot of these false allegations come from?
It could be often in family court.
We could talk about that in more detail and how it can be in family court.
So, hey guys, you guys got to have this.
It's gonna be a good one, man.
Yes, sir.
What percentage of, I would say, men are falsely accused nowadays?
Bro, I mean, I don't listen.
I'm not a data scientist.
I don't have the exact data, but it is an insane amount.
I can't tell you how many men.
I mean, I have a client who caught his wife cheating on him.
Oh, in the kitchen with the handyman.
Oh, what?
And that broke.
Haram!
Haram, there we go.
But that broke his heart.
And so, what did she do?
Now she knows she's in the wrong.
So, what did she do?
Called the police immediately and said, Oh, he's going to kill me.
And got him arrested on false allegations, filed a restraining order against him as well.
I represented him in the restraining order and destroyed it in court.
But it just happens.
It's a tool that is often used way too frequently.
Brother, I myself faced false accusations.
And that was the greatest gift because I know what it's like to be on that side and it allowed me to be the best lawyer.
And even though, look, My law firm's called Muslim Legal.
I obviously look visibly Muslim, but I have clients of every different culture, race, religion, ethnicity.
It doesn't matter because ultimately they saw, man, these are lawyers that know what it's like to be targeted.
You want to tell them about that story?
Yeah, that's how you're about it.
Yeah, because, and it's interesting because the legal disciplines that you take over, you've experienced this.
So for you, you're able to really put yourself in your client's shoes when they're going through that hardship because you've been there where, you know, obviously at the border being detained and then having those issues and then.
You could tell them you're still a lawyer.
Yeah, no, that's really what makes the best lawyer is not just studying it in the books and not even just doing the cases for others, but being the client, knowing what it's like to be the client.
And that's exactly why I ended up doing family law.
Border Detention and Client Empathy00:03:14
So, very simply, what happened is I was running one of the largest civil rights organizations for 10 years.
And, you know, my ex wife, she unfortunately caught the feminist bug at the time, you know, and her friends would whisper to her and told her, you know, and she would literally say at the time, oh, you know, we'd be millionaires if your dad did real work instead of this nonprofit.
Charity work because all the civil rights work I did was basically for nonprofit civil rights pro bono, living paycheck to paycheck, man, for 10 years.
And it's because I loved it, man.
I realized the importance of the US Constitution and I realized my children are growing up here defending people for free and all that stuff.
Exactly, exactly.
And I absolutely loved it.
It was never about the money for me.
You know what I'm saying?
And even within my own law firm, I mean, last year I did about half a million in pro bono work.
And now I'm starting to cut it back because I realized like to fight the fights that we're fighting, we need resources.
So now I'm starting to scale back a little bit on that side.
But nonetheless, for 10 years doing pro bono work, living paycheck to paycheck, Serving the community, challenging the FBI.
The FBI called me a thorn in their side.
But the same agents who called me a thorn in their side actually gifted me the challenge coin, and I had their respect.
I was one of the first leaders of the civil rights organization I was in to be invited to the White House.
We humiliated CBP.
I mean, I can't tell you how many stories I have with CBP, Customs Board Protection.
In fact, they used to target me.
I remember coming back from a flight and they pulled me in for a random inspection, second year inspection.
We could talk about your rights at the border when the time is right.
But then they took me out right away, like to leave.
They rushed me out.
I said, Aren't you going to ask me any questions?
They said, Our records indicate that you don't answer.
So we're not going to waste our time.
But people don't know their rights and thus they get given and they become complacent and they get hurt more and more.
In another instance, I remember coming back from Turkey and they again pulled me in for secondary inspection.
I went in the room.
I saw the table where they search.
I'm a little bit rebellious by nature as an attorney.
So I sat on the table.
They're like, I can't sit there.
They're like, Put your table, put your bag on the table.
Let us search it.
I said, You do that.
I'm tired.
So they put the bag on the table and then they're like, What were you doing in Turkey?
I looked at him in the face.
I said, What was I doing in Turkey?
None of your damn business.
That's what I was doing in Turkey.
And he's like, Oh, oh.
And I was like, Listen, with all due respect, you're an African American officer, and we see what it's like.
A lot of African Americans complain about driving while black.
Here you are giving us the same treatment, flying while Muslim, walk around the room.
80 to 90% of us just happen to share the same faith, and you're targeting us.
We've done nothing wrong.
And now, of course, he was very apologetic.
And I raised hell on that to the point where I would live stream from CBP areas, instructing people on their rights.
And then, just to be antagonistic, I would actually do the call to prayer, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, loud, just to show them that I'm not scared, because historically the community was so scared.
And at that point, man, we actually earned their respect.
We connected with the head of CBP, and they actually brought us in to start training their officers on how not to harass and target and undermine civil rights of people.
So that's the kind of work I was doing for 10 years, fighting the feds, fighting the federal government, fighting government overreach, which I think is something that can unite the right and the left.
Historically, it hasn't always, but I think now both sides are waking up and saying, wait a minute.
You know, the federal government can be weaponized for political agendas, you know, and it doesn't necessarily benefit the people.
And nothing is greater than the Constitution and our freedom and our liberty.
And it's our job as Americans.
And what makes us Americans is to hold our government accountable and keep them in check.
So I was doing that work for 10 years.
Holding Government Accountable for Liberty00:15:37
And then, unfortunately, like I said, my ex wife at the time popped the feminism bug and told the kids, Oh, it would be millionaires if your dad did real work and said this nonprofit work.
And she ultimately ended up, me and her, getting separated.
She moved to Morocco, separated for close to two years, religiously divorced for about six months.
Been blessed to move on into a new, healthy, beautiful relationship.
And my ex wife hadn't seen the kids in like six months.
I had begged her to come back and visit.
When I begged her to come back and visit, I said, Listen, we've got a beautiful home in Tampa.
You can stay there.
I got another apartment that me and my partner would stay in.
And the kids were with me in Jacksonville, the home's in Tampa.
She hasn't seen the kids in six months.
When she came to spend time with the kids, she saw they didn't spend time with her.
And she saw how happy I was.
Because you were married at the time.
I was religiously remarried.
Yeah, I was religiously remarried.
She came back to see the kids and you were with the kids.
Yeah, I'm respectful.
You know what I'm saying?
I have my boundaries and my limits.
And she's like, you know, you basically traded me for garbage.
I'm not going to repeat her language.
I'm going to make sure you and her lose everything.
I'm going to make sure you're on the streets.
And, you know, she went after me, you know, and blasted me online.
She did a GoFundMe that raised $40,000.
Now, mind you, dude, I've done so much free work for actual women victims of domestic violence.
One of my clients, one of my first clients that I did about $20,000 worth of free legal work representing her, who's an actual victim of domestic violence, she has 100,000 followers.
When she did her GoFundMe, she couldn't even raise $20,000 to support her legal case.
Meanwhile, my ex, who only had a few thousand followers at the time, raised $40,000.
Why?
Because it wasn't about supporting women, it was about attacking an attorney like myself that runs a prominent civil rights organization that's been challenging the federal government and, frankly, challenging a lot of the liberal agenda and the liberal politics as well.
So ultimately, she raised all that money and she filed for a temporary restraining order against me.
And restraining orders are bad guys because you lose your right to carry a gun.
Yeah, no, no, they're terrible.
They're horrible for you.
But here's the beautiful part, and this almost never happens.
The judge denied the restraining order ex parte.
In other words, when you file for a restraining order, you actually have a shot to make whatever allegations.
And if the allegations that are alleged are enough to make the judge indicate that you may be at risk, then the judge is going to grant it because they don't want to risk it.
Yeah.
But the judge, when he reviewed her allegations, and only she was there to argue that.
I wasn't there to defend myself, but God is most kind.
Praise be to Him.
She still lost.
She lost.
It got denied ex parte, which almost never happens.
And we do a lot of these now because, again, I know what it's like to have gone through them.
And then, secondly.
And ex parte is one party chat.
Yes.
That means only one party's there.
He's not there to defend himself.
Only she's there presenting herself, and that's it.
Right.
And then ultimately, what happened is she also contacted Child Protective Services against me.
Wow.
And they sat with me for four hours.
And then in the end, bro, I swear to God, it was a Christian man who was questioning me.
He said, It's clear she's just jealous and trying to harm you, but you're going to be like Job in the Bible.
You're going to lose everything and you're going to get it all back 10x.
And that's exactly what happened.
When she made those allegations, there was a reporter who was trying to write an anti CARE.
CARE was a civil rights organization and ran a hit piece against them for years.
So she published everything, all the allegations, as if it was true.
They painted me in the worst of ways.
All, everything they alleged was false and they had evidence that it was false, but they didn't care.
They published it.
And I was going to be horrible for your career because, like, now the bars may be calling you.
Bro, it was a nuclear option.
I'm telling you, I didn't want to live.
You know, when the guys said you're going to lose everything and you're going to get it all tenfold, that's exactly what happened.
I remember moving to New York City.
I resigned from my job.
Now, no one made me resign, but the reason I realized, like, I'm running a civil rights organization fighting the feds.
How am I going to do that and do justice to that while also dealing with this fire I have in my home?
How old are you at the time?
How old are you?
How old?
I was about 34.
You know, I was about 34.
Yeah.
It was about five years ago.
So at that time, I resigned from my job.
I had lost my house because she took it over.
I lost my kids, hadn't spoken to them for months.
She kept them when she was in the house.
She got custody of them immediately.
So you bring her over to see the kids.
Literally, bring her over.
She sees you with a new woman and she just goes crazy.
She already knew I was there.
And I was giving her an average of $5,000 a month for the three months before she did this.
And she claimed, she basically represented that she and the kids were locked up in the house getting beaten, using all the anti-Arab stereotypes, needing money to escape for their life.
Wow.
That was what they represented.
So you got to imagine, I'm prominent running one of the biggest civil rights offices.
I had to resign because I couldn't do it justice.
I lost my house, lost my kids.
My car was repossessed.
I literally had lost everything.
I remember moving to New York City and seeing the train, the subway, and just wishing I could fall in front of it.
I didn't want to live anymore.
What kept me going was trusting God and my charity work.
And I just believed that God never takes you, only gives.
And there's a blessing in this for me.
I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel.
The light at the end of the tunnel for me was a train coming to hit me.
I literally wanted to jump in front of it.
But, you know, we believe that, again, God never takes you, only gives.
If you're oppressed, You will get victory as long as you don't give in to defeat in here and in here.
No one can defeat you.
You can only defeat yourself with your own mentality.
And so it was learning these lessons the hard way.
But ultimately, just like what the Child Protective Services guy promised happened, bro, I got my house back, got my kids back.
My ex issued a public apology.
We're on good terms now.
In fact, I represent her new husband against his ex wife who stole his kids.
What is the irony in that?
You know what?
Yes, sir.
And you know what?
And I started making more in a month than I used to in a year.
Doing the civil rights work that I used to do.
How did you turn it around?
Bro, it was literally.
How did you go from wanting to end it all and going through this and being broke and she's trying to take you for everything you got?
How did you turn that around?
You know, there was a couple things.
Number one is, again, just having blind faith in God, literally.
And I think this applies to everyone.
I don't care what your faith is.
If you believe in a higher source, the higher source is beautiful.
The Creator is beautiful.
Trust Him.
He only wants good for you.
That's number one.
Number two is I actually started volunteering in Africa doing charity work.
Not to be cliche, but I literally.
Packed a few of my clothes in a backpack and live out of my backpack for a month.
And I traveled.
We spent time with orphans.
We spent time in remote villages.
People are literally living in mud huts that are like as big as a stable, brother, you know, like this.
And just serving the orphans, serving those in need.
And I realized, man, you don't need all this stuff to be happy.
Just being out literally in the remote jungle parts of Africa and sometimes in the desert, Turkana, remote areas of Kenya, and just being able to serve those that are less fortunate and seeing how happy they are having nothing.
And we have a tradition that God helps the servant so long as the servant helps others.
So, through that service, I believe there were indirect blessings to it.
When I came back, one of the biggest real estate developers hired me as his right hand.
But I had to take permission before I go on my charity trips.
I'm like, I can't freaking take permission.
So, I said, Brother, I love you.
Thank you for this position.
It was paying me better than what was in my last job.
But I can't ask for permission.
So, I'm just going to go back to Florida.
At that time, I didn't have my kids back.
Didn't have a plan.
Were you in New York City?
Yeah, I was in New York City.
When I went through it, I moved to New York because my guy flew me out there, got me an apartment.
Gotcha.
You know, I started working as his right hand.
And then while you're doing that, you also did the charity work.
Exactly, the charity work.
And then when I got back, I don't have a job.
But people started hitting me up saying, Brother, I'm going through something like what you're going through.
It could be a lady.
Hey, my ex husband made all these accusations against me, just like you went through.
Can you help me?
And then another gentleman calling me, same story.
You know, I'm facing all these false allegations.
Can you help me?
And I said, you know what?
I want to be the kind of lawyer I wish me and my ex had a lawyer that really cares about the family, about the children.
Because in these family law disputes, the only people who win are the lawyers.
They're the ones that make all the money off of the parties fighting, you know?
So ultimately, it's a big business family court.
It's a huge, and honestly, there's a lot of, I think, abuse in the system.
Unfortunately, there can be a lot of injustice.
And so, man, I just started picking myself back up, taking on cases, one case after the next, and just doing it out of my house without an office, without staff.
And we've grown now.
We have a team of 12.
We have some of the best staff members that work day and night.
Literally, I got an army of people that will go to war for me.
And we built a powerful firm.
We handle still discrimination, government harassment, FBI abuse.
We do a lot of family law, we do criminal defense.
We're there as a one stop shop to fight for justice as lawyers that were driven for over 10 years by a desire to protect the Constitution in the nonprofit space.
And it actually took me a while to shift because one of the big mistakes I used to make is when I have clients that run out of money, I used to not drop them.
I just didn't have the heart to, you know.
But it continued to grow big and big and big.
And it's easy to do that when it's just yourself.
But when you have 10 staff, you know, you got to get.
You have to take care of them too.
Exactly.
You got to take care of them.
And it's not fair.
And then I started to realize every time I said yes to pro bono work, I was saying no to my family, my children, and my staff.
So we still do some pro bono work, but it's within the limits.
But ultimately, yeah.
So that's what got me into family law.
And I will tell you very important for those going through divorce, going through hardship, going through a calamity, don't give up hope.
Because I was at that point, I literally remember standing in the subway, seeing the train, wishing I could fall in front of it.
And I kept my faith, I kept my optimism, and then everything turned around 10x.
Literally, what I used to make in a year, I started making in a month.
My following on social media went up 10x.
My network went up 10x.
I've never been more successful than I am today.
And I don't believe I would have been here had I not lost everything, accepted it, and then worked hard to help those and help others avoid being in situations like I was.
Would it be fair to say that, like, because basically you lose everything, you go to New York, you work with your real estate developer, you go to Africa, you're there doing charity work, you come back.
You started taking out clients little by little.
Did you going through that and like actually really being in your client's shoes like help you significantly with like fighting their cases on their behalf?
100%.
Yeah.
100%.
And then the word of mouth just traveled and it just started getting recommended more and more.
People can tell when they help you.
So few lawyers actually have been through it.
So like you know exactly what it was.
Well, for a lot of lawyers, it is ultimately just a business.
And I think my struggle has been about actually running it as a business, you know, and making it purely business based and not making those heartstring decisions about, you know, maybe doing more pro bono than we should.
Because like I said, last year we had about half a million in pro bono.
However, ultimately, I think, you know, Stephen Colbert said this, and he said this so beautifully.
He said that the blessing of our trials and our calamities is they give us empathy to help others going through similar situations.
Because if you've been through it yourself, you can understand it at a much deeper level and be there.
And that's what makes it worthwhile.
And it actually made what I went through worthwhile.
The fact that I was able to understand what it's like to go through it and passionately help so many people.
I think that's why my business grew again within a few years, went from just working on my house to having a team of 14.
Now we're continuing to grow.
It's because of the authenticity of the experience.
That's what drove my law firm, I wanted to be the kind of lawyer that I wish I had when I needed help.
Yeah, no.
And guys, we're going to open it up for QA here very soon because I'm sure you guys probably have a bunch of questions.
And literally, you can see here, Hassan does it all, whether it's criminal defense, family court law, which a lot of you guys probably have questions on that.
And then you also do civil rights work as well, obviously.
Right.
And federal government overreach, FBI investigations, false allegations.
False allegations.
That's a big one.
Right.
Because they, The false allegations is very interesting because it covers multiple areas, right?
It covers family law.
A lot of times these are in the family law context.
Bro, when am I.
They use it as a justification to go after the man, right?
100%.
Bro, I have.
I mean, there's disgusting.
The mother literally accusing the father of sexually assaulting the children.
That was one of my first cases as well, you know?
And people, oh, well, you know, represent someone like that.
Well, when you look at it, we were able to destroy the case and prove that it was a lie, you know, and again, get these things dismissed.
Let's be honest.
People can make terribly false accusations because they feel like it will benefit.
Them in the family court proceeding, so we deal with it in family court.
We have a lot to gain, we exactly financially having the kids 100%.
And remember, it's so easy, I almost don't want to say we got a little uh commotion right now with the guard dogs.
Mashallah, Mashallah, Mashallah.
Sorry about that.
That's dogs, Frank.
Sit, stay.
Sorry about that, no worries.
Him, I guess, him and hero got in a little uh scuffle, they got into a little scuffle.
Sorry about that.
So, where were we?
Yeah.
And what people don't also realize is, dude, I have both men and women that have been falsely accused.
Really?
Yeah.
What do women get accused of, like, neglect?
No, no.
I mean, I've had women accused of also molesting their kids.
I've had, you know, again, all sorts of wild things that, again, in working on these cases and vindicating them, can see that it was just complete fabrication.
So, ultimately, unfortunately, it tends to be much more the men that are accused, you know, but it can happen to both.
You know, it can happen to both.
And I think ultimately the sad thing is the kids pay the price.
So even when I present clients, you know what I tell them?
I say, listen, I don't really care about you or your ex.
I care about your kids because they're innocent in all this.
You know, and let's be real my oldest 16, he's now studying to be a pilot.
He just got his first class medical.
And, you know, he's a pro, man.
He loves it.
But, and I'm glad that at least now I'm in a position where I can help him fulfill his dream, even though I couldn't do that when I was his age.
But ultimately, you know, they're old enough to see what was said about me.
Yeah.
And the wild thing is, I remember going back to the media because they, I mean, what really hurt me was the Front page stories that there were.
And it was all NPR, all these guys.
Yeah, it was just, it was actually just one.
That's the crazy thing.
If there was truth to it, you might have had more outlets, but it was just NPR with their agenda.
Exactly.
And it is the, I was front page, bro.
They wrote about me like I was some big celebrity abuser, you know, all sorts of stuff.
Bro, when the Child Protective Services cleared my name and they actually issued a paper clearing my name, when the court cleared my name, I showed them and I said, listen, the legal process cleared my name.
Can you update your story?
And they have the text messages, no, we're not interested in updating the story.
To reflect that they have an agenda, you know, and so listen, though, whatever I went through, I'm so grateful for it because it's put me in a position to literally help hundreds and hundreds of clients that have gone through similar situations and allow me sort of to be the best kind of attorney that I can.
So I love it, man.
I love what we do.
I would say it's not a job or a career, it's a passion and a mission.
Are you seeing the current uh Russell Brand case?
Oh, yeah, I've heard, I've heard, I've heard, I've heard some things about it, haven't followed, but I mean, Johnny Depp, I remember the day Johnny Depp was vindicated, and I mean, that was a huge relief for all of us because we know again what it's like.
Sometimes you're the victim of abuse and then you're accused of being the abuser.
But again, this is why it's so important that when people face allegations, whether they're in a criminal context or a family law context, you have to contact the right attorneys immediately because the best time to kill the case is in the earliest time.
The problem is sometimes people wait too late, they wait till charges are filed.
You have multiple chances to kill a case, and the best time to kill it is before it even gets to the prosecutor's office.
The best time to kill it is when it's early on in the criminal investigation.
Portion of things.
So the sooner you can get the right legal representation, the better it is.
Makes sense.
Early Intervention in Criminal Investigations00:04:55
And guys, we're going to fire up the phone lines for you guys right now as well.
The number to call into the show is 646 4900 394 if you guys got questions for us on.
Also, super chat in your questions if you guys want.
Obviously, you know, I wanted you guys to kind of get familiar with him, his backstory.
Obviously, he's been through the fire himself, which is why he's able to defend people the way that he does and represent people the way that he does.
So, yeah.
So, and if you guys qualify to show and you super chat, if you want to cut the line, obviously, super chat and then put the last four digits of your phone number so Mo knows to find you in the queue.
But FNFSuperChat.com is where it is.
Or a rumble rant, you know, whether you're watching on OSS Cows Club, whatever it may be, just put in the last four digits of your number, qualify to show, 646490.
Or you can just send your chat, your question in with a super chat and we'll answer it.
So, you guys got us on here.
You guys are able to have a high level attorney ask some questions for free.
So, you guys all owe me one.
But, yeah, this is going to be definitely huge.
And, like I said, civil litigation, family court, you got questions on cohabitation.
You're obviously defending yourself in a criminal case, whatever it may be, you can ask them.
And then I know you're here in Florida, you're born here in Florida, but you obviously do federal cases all the time.
Right.
So, one is, again, we got a good team and we got a solid network.
For most state law things in Florida, we can handle, in terms of Federal, we can handle nationwide.
So, we've worked on criminal investigations nationwide, FBI harassment nationwide, you know, immigration issues nationwide.
And you've stopped someone from getting charged in California, too.
In California, if you want to tell the story real quick.
Yeah, so there is, I can't say too much other than it was a globally known celebrity.
That's what I'll say.
It was a name where a significant, I'm talking about hundreds of millions of people, know who this individual is.
And he unfortunately was falsely accused of rape.
Falsely accused of rape.
And I think, had he been arrested, it would have been a global catastrophe because he's someone of a lot of honor, a lot of respect, of good reputation.
And the scary part is he could be innocent and it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
Just getting arrested in itself is bad.
Because, I mean, remember now, the recent case we got in Florida where this young lady makes some jokes about Netanyahu and school in her WhatsApp group and then she gets arrested.
I mean, it was clearly a joke and the judge herself acknowledged.
Well, look, this evidence may not be enough to convict you, but it's enough for probable cause.
The standard for probable cause is so ridiculously low.
You know, in law school, they literally say you could indict a ham sandwich.
So ultimately, the bar for arrest is very low.
And this is why there is a blessing in having honest and righteous law enforcement officers, because some of them get it.
Some of them are just trying to get the conviction or get the arrest because they want to get a promotion.
But there are people that are actually genuine.
And I was very blessed that in that case, we had a very genuine officer.
And I explained to him, I got on the phone early on, and he wanted to interview my client and said, listen, I can't let you interview him.
Right now, that's not going to be how we do this.
But you have to understand that with his global reputation, it's going to be a crisis if he's arrested.
Now, don't get me wrong.
If he's done what he's accused of, arrest him, convict him, lock him up.
But don't proceed with the arrest if the evidence is not clear or if it's clear that maybe he's innocent.
And I said, just give us an opportunity to work with you, to share some information with you so that we can address these allegations.
And I am confident that you will find that they are fabricated lies completely.
And you know, we don't have to provide exculpatory evidence to show that he was innocent.
Exactly.
You got to remember, remember, you're innocent until proven guilty.
So we don't even have a burden of proof to prove his innocence.
We don't have to.
They have to prove his guilt.
But again, the bar to arrest someone is so low.
We didn't want them to do that.
And I said, give us a chance to prove his innocence.
So we worked on the case.
We investigated it.
We got our evidence and, you know, turned it over to law enforcement.
And they actually responded to us, thanking us and with a letter acknowledging that they will not be prosecuting him because, again, he is innocent.
So these kinds of things happen.
Unfortunately, far too frequently.
But what makes the difference is hiring the right lawyer very, very early on before the charges are filed, or even getting them to drop the charges if they are filed.
I mean, I had another well respected community leader accused of theft from a store because the officers walked in with.
With a tripod in a Best Buy.
I mean, something as simple as this.
Imagine that.
Walked in with a tripod.
The officers couldn't see clearly the tripod, and then they assumed he left with a tripod, stole it.
And it was just as simple as showing them the frame by frame analysis that the guy came in with it.
Why are you accusing him of stealing it?
They thought he stole a tripod.
Literally.
But they sent the police after him.
They were going to arrest him.
It became a whole thing.
Okay, question for you.
What race was he?
This guy was Arab.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, this guy was Arab.
The Truth Behind Stolen Tripods00:03:19
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, no, it happens, unfortunately.
It happens way too frequently.
So, what I'm big on, brother, is preventative care.
So, I make my money when people make mistakes, but I'm not in this to make money.
I'm in this to help people.
So, I just want people to have the knowledge of how to avoid being in these situations.
So, perhaps as we'll put up questions, let's share some critical rights that I want you to understand.
Yeah, so we could go ahead and start answering the questions, guys.
Again, 646-4900-394, guys, the number to call into the show.
If you want to skip the line, because we already got a bunch of people on the line, When you super chat in, put the last four digits of your phone number so Mo can quickly find you on the queue.
Or you could just go on FNFsuperchat.com or Rumble Rant or whatever it may be.
If you're watching on kick, you can send in a kick.
Send your question there.
We want to knock out as many questions to help as many of you guys as possible.
So we'll go right into it.
So can you read the first one fresh?
We have Remus Philop.
He says, Hey, brother, my sister has been going through a divorce for the last four years.
Her husband has been running away from all payments, child support for five kids, and alimony.
The guy is a multi millionaire.
But she has to be able to get this divorce finalized or anything.
And there in Indiana, what can she do?
Yeah, I mean, it's tough to talk about very specific circumstances, especially in Indiana, but ultimately, make sure you have the right lawyer.
And ultimately, you may have to make a significant investment.
And what I recommend to people is don't piecemeal your litigation, hire good attorneys.
And if you need to secure funding to enable them to have the resources to fully proceed with the case, and a lot of times, like in things like this, where you say that he's multimillionaire, but he's not paying.
You know, you may have to hire a forensic accountant.
You know, you have to have the right team, invest in the right team.
Don't try to do this piecemeal and don't try to cut corners.
You know, it's not always the case that the most expensive lawyer is the best, but certainly be wary of the cheapest ones as well.
I mean, you ultimately get what you pay for, and people don't realize, and this is very sad, but it is America can provide the best justice that money can afford, that you can buy.
There's truth to that.
You need to have good lawyers and you have to give them the good resources to be able to fight strongly.
So, Look, what I encourage you is make sure that you have a team of lawyers that you trust, you've given them the resources, and that you speak with them about having the right investigators, the right forensic accountant.
Now, what I always encourage is solid mediation.
Do mediation with the right mediators.
Also, in my practice, we do a lot of mediation.
I tell people straight up, like, dude, you could spend all this money on lawyers fighting each other, or you could pay it to each other and preserve it within your family and for the sake of your kids.
Ultimately, divorce is the single biggest destroyer of wealth.
And it's a shame.
Like, with my own clients, sometimes I have a client who's so upset and he's like, Yeah, I'll pay you $20,000 right now just to fight her.
I'm like, bro, she's just asking for $20,000.
Give her the $20,000, give me nothing, and just move on, have peace.
No, but it's about the principle.
I'm like, bro, no, it's not.
Don't let your ego get in the way.
It's better to pay the mother or the father of your kids something that is certain than to pay your lawyer something that can be uncertain because it's hourly.
You don't know how it's going to go and ultimately may not get you the results that you want.
So a lot of times I actually have to talk my clients off the ledge.
And unfortunately, sometimes as a lawyer, you find yourself, Being pulled in to be a therapist and a life coach as well, but sometimes the clients need genuine advice.
Self-Respect and Legal Consent Forms00:02:54
Well, it's a very emotional time.
Makes sense, but that is scary.
Yeah.
Okay.
What's the next one?
Withers is cold says, best advice for protecting yourself from false accusations.
I've gone to the point where I screenshot all messages and audio record the build up to show consent, meet, date, my place, and escalate.
Oh, very impressive.
So he's showing every interaction between him and a woman just to be careful and recording it basically as evidence.
How would you?
No, I mean, those are very, very good tips and you got to be careful.
I mean, we get these all the time where people have, you know, consensual encounters and then for some reason or another, Later, someone says, No, it was this part was not consensual and it can potentially open up a criminal case.
So, number one is look, I do think people have to be very responsible about who they give their time and energy to, you know, because you know, if you are too loose in who you allow to have your time and energy and you don't filter out their quality and their character, you're more likely to fall in that kind of situation, you know.
So, number one is be careful who you're trusting to begin with, obviously, having the right documents.
So, there's you know, I have some clients they actually have.
Consent forms.
You know, I have clients that forget in the intimacy context, but even whoever enters their house, they have to sign a waiver, a release of liability, et cetera.
Having the right documents, also having the right security footage.
And you know what I recommend is have security cameras with audio and video.
Make sure they're on a local network so you don't have to worry about them getting hacked and have signs that listen, there is audio video recording at this location because you have to disclose that you can't secretly record people.
And obviously you can't and shouldn't have them in certain places that there's a certain level of privacy.
But have the right security cameras, especially at the entrance, especially the hallways, especially the main areas.
Have the right paperwork if you need it, like waivers, et cetera, consent forms.
But ultimately, I think it also goes back to being grounded.
We live in a very dangerous time.
And especially if you're somebody that's outspoken on issues of politics, if you're someone who challenges the government, you got to be very, very careful.
Because look, the honey trap thing is a real thing.
There's a book called By Way of Deception.
It all speaks about how the Israeli Mossad has used.
Frankly, prostitutes, right, to go after people of influence.
They don't present themselves as prostitutes.
They may present themselves as genuinely interested just to get compromising photos and evidence and then use that to push the people to take positions or disclose information that they otherwise wouldn't.
So I think there is a lot to be said about having a level of self respect and dignity and control and being careful because ultimately, even if you have the consent forms, you have the audio and video, but if someone is there with a bad intention, and the more successful you are, the more powerful you are, the more influential you are, the more likely that is the case.
This is why it's very important you are protective of who you give your time and your energy to.
Very good point.
Prenups and Common Law Marriages00:15:15
I just wonder though, sometimes when you have a wife, right?
This can change.
Obviously speaking, it'd be good at the beginning.
She gets maybe jaded, yada, yada.
She can still become your worst enemy.
So I get that part for sure.
Choose who you are.
Well, I think my biggest mistake, honestly, was trying to hold on to the marriage too long.
You know, I desperately, because I had three beautiful kids with her.
And I desperately did not want to go through a divorce for their sake.
And listen, I don't think that you should stay in an unhappy marriage for the sake of the kids.
But I do think you have the duty to put in the effort to make the marriage happy for the sake of the kids.
And I believe happiness is a choice.
You know, we live in this instant gratification culture people swiping right, swiping left, and just used to, you know, the excitement of the chase.
And then once they get and moving on and moving on and moving on.
But that's not what's going to work long term.
Like, I think there's something to be said about, you know, the intention of commitment.
The problem is it has to come from both sides.
And I think for far too long, I tried to keep it together.
And I feel like had I just taken the initiative and filed for divorce earlier on, it would have made it much harder for us to be separated because we were separated for two years, hadn't seen her in six months.
And then she came and she filed for the restraining order and made those allegations.
But had I filed for divorce years before then, it would have been harder for her to come up and make those cases.
So I think that's the key at what point do you walk away?
And I think part of the key is knowing when to walk away.
And sometimes, You should file for divorce much sooner.
I mean, the problem is, I have too many clients where a wife has called the police on them or wrongfully, or the husband even has called the police on the wife and they still stay together.
For me, that's a red line.
Like, if law enforcement is ever involved in a relationship, that relationship is dead.
The trust is broken forever.
If the law enforcement was called rightfully, then you shouldn't be in that situation where your life's at danger.
And if law enforcement was called wrongfully, then you shouldn't be in that situation where someone's endangering your life because police could come and someone could leave dead.
Their reputation could be destroyed.
They could spend time in jail.
We've seen all of that.
So people need to know when to leave.
And listen, I'm a big proponent, although we do a lot of family law.
I've had a lot of clients come to me and ready for divorce, and they end up doing a contract, cohabitation agreement to stay together, a post NUP agreement.
They end up doing things to stay together because they understand.
I explain to them, I say, look, you can either be with an imperfect human or you can be alone.
And sometimes it seems easier to be alone than to be with an imperfect human.
But that's not what's going to pay off 10, 20, 30 years from now when.
If you stick it through and you have healthy, beautiful kids and they have grandkids and you have a family and people there for you when they're older.
So I think people have to change their priorities.
So sometimes it's about knowing when to put in the effort to fix the relationship, but sometimes about knowing when to walk away.
And I think a lot of times people make the mistake of not walking away when they should, whether it's walking away from a date, whether it's walking away from a marriage.
Sometimes, and I'm not a proponent of ending relationships, but sometimes the safest thing you can do is to walk away and contact an attorney and do it right before it gets a situation where you put yourself in a situation where there's false allegations happening against you.
All right, let's knock out some of these questions.
So let's see here.
What's the next one?
Withers is cold.
Says, what's the most optimal way to protect your assets when marrying religiously with kids?
Myron Andrew Wilson said that having separate households is no different than divorce.
Thoughts on that?
That's a great question.
Listen, so first of all, I'm a big proponent of religious marriage without legal marriage.
I'm not necessarily a fan of legal marriage because what is legal marriage other than giving, frankly, a secular, popularly elected public official, a judge, control over your household?
Why do you want the state involved in your home and your household?
Now, there's some extent.
It's unavoidable.
Like if you have kids, the state can always be involved in terms of time sharing and child support, but you really don't need to give the state more involvement in your relationship than need be.
Now, there are some states, and I don't want to get into state specific advice.
In Florida, we don't have that, I can tell you.
But there are some states that if people cohabitate and live together long enough, like a married couple, there can be some rights, almost like a common law marriage type situation, though not exactly.
That can kind of apply.
You know, exactly.
And there's solutions around that, like a cohabitation agreement.
But I will say, for most people, honestly, it may not make sense to get.
Legally married.
And whatever benefits of legal marriage there are, you can do that through having the right estate plan and the right contracts in place.
So that my first advice, this is both for men and women.
Dude, I have female clients that are doctors making $300,000, $400,000 a year.
Then they fall in love with some guy making $80,000 a year.
They're like, I love him.
I want to religiously marry him.
I even want to raise a family with him.
But am I going to trust to legally marry him?
And then one day he gets pissed and takes.
They're way smarter about that.
Way smarter.
Yeah.
Unprotected assets.
First thing you thought about.
Damn.
And if a woman does that, it's okay.
But if a guy wants to protect his things, it's not.
So the first thing is understanding that maybe you don't get to get legally married.
I'm a big proponent of religious marriage.
I think people have a fundamental constitutional right to get religiously married without legal marriage.
So I encourage that.
In the Muslim tradition, it's simple.
I'm sure there's ways to do it in other faith traditions as well.
But just get religiously married without the legal marriage.
That's one of the best ways to protect yourself.
And then you can have other agreements in place.
You can have cohabitation agreements, you can have estate plans.
You can have powers of attorney.
There's a lot of things that we can show people.
So, people look into cohabitation agreements in states where common law automatically has to.
In states that have any form of common law marriage rights, you have to have a cohabitation agreement because otherwise.
Does that supersede the already in place common law?
Correct.
If you have a cohabitation agreement and it's properly drafted, and don't cheap out on these agreements.
These are the most important agreements of your life, and people will just be trying to do it through ChatGPT and Google.
And look, AI is great.
In my law firm, we use AI a lot, but sometimes it's that one line that we catch that can make or break the agreement.
Yeah.
You know, in terms of states with common law, even if you're just dating or religiously married, get a cohabitation agreement and outline the rights and the responsibilities of the couples and set the expectations.
But If you have to get legally married, and again, my advice is get religiously married.
Yes.
Get legally married.
No.
If you can avoid it, don't do it.
But if you have to get legally married, do not get legally married without a prenup.
That's the stupidest thing you can do to get legally married without a prenup.
And the truth of the matter is, a prenup is not about preserving your own wealth.
Yes, it can protect your wealth, but a prenup truly is about protecting the marriage itself.
Because what happens is this conflict is unavoidable.
Conflict is absolutely unavoidable.
Disputes are unavoidable.
But what happens is when you don't have a prenup and then you're six, seven, eight years into the relationship, if there's some misunderstanding or conflict that happens, each party then starts thinking about protecting themselves, getting more money or less money.
How do I get more?
How do I get less?
They each get lawyers.
The lawyers add fuel to the fire.
And next thing you know, they're in years of litigation and divorce court.
But if you have a clear and properly done prenup, you already know what's going to happen financially.
There's nothing for you to, it's already crystal clear.
So you could just focus on the relationship and the relationships and the marriage.
Actually, studies show this.
That have prenups, they're much more likely to last.
And part of that goes to the maturity of the couple, that the couple is able to have a conversation about, okay, how do we resolve conflict?
And the other thing is look, I do come from a faith background, but again, at my law firm, we have people of many different faiths and backgrounds, both as clients and as staff.
You know, I do believe legal marriage destroys God given rights.
God given rights is there's a fundamental right to property.
You know, in my tradition, we don't have anything as common property.
You know, everybody is entitled to keep what is theirs, you know.
And there's a blessing in that it avoids confusion.
But when you have entanglement, you have confusion, you have greed.
This is why a proper prenuptial agreement can actually really protect the marriage in so many ways.
You know, I could do a one hour lecture just on the importance of a prenup, but my advice to everyone if you want your marriage to last and to be protected, do not get legally married without a prenup and don't cheap yourself out.
You know, what's your prenup run somebody?
You know, right now, how often do you have to update it?
Sure.
So, in my firm right now, we're charging, you know, average cost is around four to five thousand.
You know, we've done some for thirty five hundred, we've done some for twenty five hundred, especially students and those that I think are just getting started.
But it is, you know, if you think having writing a prenup is expensive, see how expensive it is not to have one.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
See how it's worth its weight in gold.
It is one of the greatest things you can do to protect your marriage, you know.
And like I said, I mean, I'm not even.
With what I've seen in family court, I'm not a believer in Western secular legal marriage.
I'm not a believer, and I do believe in traditional religious marriage.
But if you have to get legally married for immigration purposes or tax purposes or whatever, then get a prenup.
What does a prenup do?
It actually just identifies each party's rights and responsibilities.
It makes clear whatever's in one person's name is theirs, whatever's in the other person's name is theirs, both assets and debt.
If they want to have joint assets, they can just outline it.
Let's not let there be confusion.
And you could put anything in there you want, right?
Like you could put in there all the money I make is mine from this point forward.
Right.
And you could put, versus like normally it'd be what, 50 50?
Exactly.
Exactly.
You know, the problem, and especially with traditional households, I mean, I've seen this happen quite a bit.
Someone said 5K for a prenup, even less reason to get married.
Again, don't get legally married, get religiously married, but be aware.
But if you're going to do it, have that.
Because what are you guys going to spend 50K for the wedding?
You might as well go ahead and have 5K for the wedding.
It's the best investment.
Look, you may find food.
Listen, you get what you pay for at the end of the day.
But when people are cheap in the short term, they actually end up paying much more in the long term.
But invest in a solid prenup.
We do this all the time.
And we're actually able to update it regularly?
Not necessarily, no.
Different states have different standards.
And because of our firm and our network, we actually do work on prenups in various different states with different attorneys that are licensed in different states.
States and some are very prenup friendly.
I'll say Florida is one of the most prenup friendly places.
Is this a common law state too?
No, no, there's no common law marriage here.
Massachusetts, we're working with an attorney right now because we have a special expertise in some of the cultural areas that they need on a prenup in Massachusetts, and it's one of the most prenup unfriendly places.
So different states have different rules and regulations.
Again, if you have any common law principles within your state, then even if you're not legally married, get a cohabitation agreement.
Otherwise, you know, I would say it's enough to get religiously married.
However, sometimes an agreement may be helpful for various reasons.
So it's okay to have agreements that see the difference is this look, no one buys a car, hopefully, without reading the contract.
Some people do and they regret it.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
But I would argue most people do.
Yeah, maybe that's true.
That's true.
And they may end up regretting, especially a used car from a sleazy salesman.
But the problem is, you know, people get legally married.
Without reading the marriage contract.
What is the marriage contract?
It's the Florida, in Florida, it's the Florida statutes on family law.
You know, no one reads it.
And who wrote these laws?
Again, it's frankly some of the same people that are funding genocide, that are protecting pedophiles.
It's not the cream of the crop of humanity that wrote these laws.
They're not writing it with religion in mind.
They're writing it through some special games, secular, exactly.
Well, I almost believe that it's satanic and demonic and designed to lead to more divorce, to keep, you know, families broken and to keep people distracted so that the elites can continue.
To move on and work on.
And we were talking about this.
Like, you know, a big part of marriage is like you have to have things in place where your partner is desensitized from like just leaving you for their own personal gain.
Yes.
Because, like, you know, a lot of these laws are written in a way where like it's actually to her benefit to leave you.
It incentivizes it for us.
So that's actually, I'm going to jump to that point real quick.
I'm glad you mentioned it.
Before that, just to emphasize that, listen, when you get legally married, you're basically signing a contract.
But you have two options.
You can sign a contract written by others that you probably haven't read, and that's probably this thick.
Which is the state statutes, or you could write your own contract and you could define marriage your way.
Why wouldn't you choose that?
It's much better.
And you and her can put whatever you guys agree to within reason.
Again, hire a lawyer, there's certain restrictions, but it's much better to have your own contract that you and your partner have come up with than to have the state default.
That's number one.
Number two is, especially in traditional households, I do believe the modern state law encourages divorce.
Why?
In a traditional household, the man should be providing everything.
Agreed.
And he's working day and night, maybe sometimes, especially in this economy, 12, 14 hours a day.
Even the wealthy, successful ones are working crazy hours.
You know what I'm saying?
And so they're working very hard.
They're providing for the family.
They're putting their family first.
Meanwhile, the wife is also working hard at home, raising the kids, taking care of them.
And what happens after 10 years, she realizes, man, you know, I didn't get to live my life.
I spent the last 10 years just raising kids.
She doesn't think, well, my husband also spent the last 10 years putting 14 hour work days to provide for us.
She thinks, and her friends tell her, and the committee tells her, well, listen, you know, why don't you just file for divorce?
You can get a Third of his income as alimony plus child support.
And you've been for 10 years.
Some states, I mean, Florida for a very long time was lifetime alimony for 10 years.
Yes, yes, they had lifetime alimony.
Thank God they amended it.
And what you can also do is take half of the assets.
So for her, it's a windfall.
You know what I'm saying?
It's a lot of money and she's incentivized to marriage.
So in the prenups that we write, I believe, and the way we design these prenups is there should not be a financial incentive to divorce.
At the same time, if there's a legitimate reason for divorce, there shouldn't be absolutely nothing.
Yeah.
So we work the parties to identify what's a reasonable amount that's not so much that's going to tempt someone to divorce for financial reasons.
And that's not so little that somebody will remain in an unhealthy situation because they have no other choice.
You find that sweet spot that is the healthiest.
And the clients that do that end up having the best marriages and the best relationships.
Yeah.
Okay.
Let's go back to the questions.
Anyone on the phone lines or are we still doing super chats?
Whichever one, yeah, whichever one, if you guys want to get someone on the line or that, we'll let you guys pick.
All right.
Russell says, Shah Afnev, for the opportunity, we owe you, Myron.
It's been a month since I went to court over a restraining order.
Should I pursue going for full custody or continue pickup and drop off at local police stations to prevent any further allegations?
Ooh, okay.
And again, I'm hesitant to give very specific advice, but I want to give generic advice around the situation.
Yeah.
Restraining orders.
We deal with them a lot.
Again, we explain how easy it is to get them on a temporary basis.
Number one is in terms of the restraining order, you know, I don't know where this individual is in the legal process.
I do think it can protect both parties doing the exchanges at a police station, even if you've been falsely accused, you know, because it's going to be difficult for her to make allegations.
And I've seen innocent people get thrown under the bus and be alleged, have allegations thrown against them.
So I don't think it's necessarily a bad idea to do the exchanges in a public place or in a police station.
Protecting Families from Unconscionability00:15:32
Now, in terms of going for full custody, It really depends on the factors.
So, in Florida, for example, the law changed.
And this is a good thing, in my opinion, because a lot of times, especially certain mothers were trying to keep the kids away from the dads.
Now, the default is it is presumed that 50 50 is in the best interest of the children.
And I'm a big proponent of 50 50, you know, because, and I really don't like people that fight against 50 50 because I think they're very small minded and selfish.
The truth of the matter is, dude, the week you have the kids, enjoy them, spoil them, you know, enjoy their company.
And the week you don't, Grind, make money, read a book, study, grow, build your new family, perhaps.
But you make the most of each circumstance.
Don't be so greedy.
Understand, I've seen so many situations where mothers in particular may fight for sole custody in a year or two, regret it, and even abandon the kids altogether because there's too much for them to handle.
Now, I will say in Florida, to get quote unquote sole custody, and in Florida, we have parental responsibility who's in charge of the kids in terms of making their decisions, and we have what is called time sharing.
What is the schedule of the kids?
Nowadays, there's a presumption that 50 50 is in the best interest of the kids, but it's possible to overcome that.
What I would ask the question is is it really worth it?
What is very important, though, is if you're facing a domestic violence injunction and a restraining order, contact an attorney right away to see how to properly fight against it.
We've successfully fought against these many times.
It can be done.
We've won fighting against them, but you really need to have a lawyer that cares and is willing to understand the facts of your case.
Sometimes we hire investigators, you know, and you have to be willing to stand up because if you agree to a restraining order, Sometimes there's no going back.
You know, I have a client who got bad legal advice and he's facing a 10 year restraining order from seeing his kids.
10 years is crazy.
And I even told them, this was before I came involved in the case, but I said, what incentive does this guy have to work?
So basically, you're taking half of his stuff, plus you're taking alimony, plus you're taking child support.
You're basically taking the majority of his wealth, but he can't even see his kids.
Yeah.
You know, what's stopping this man from just moving somewhere else at that point?
You know, the only incentive that you have to work and to pay is at least you could see the smile on the face of your kids.
Yeah.
You know, but if you take that away from him, then what incentive are you giving?
You're destroying the kids that way.
You're destroying the family that way.
And this is why, unfortunately, you have a lot of degeneracy in society.
You have a society where children are not raised.
And the fact of the matter is, children that do not grow up with both a mother and a father are much more likely to have substance abuse issues, degeneracy issues, indecency issues.
They're much more likely to have financial problems.
You know, I think we forget.
We all talk about my rights, my rights, my rights.
What about the rights of children to grow up with a?
Father and mother that are there for them to provide for them to care for them to protect them.
We forget about that, you know, and ultimately our society just becomes a reflection of that.
Yeah, okay.
Next question here What do we got?
Sir Rock No Diddy, what up, fellas?
So, to everything you guys are doing, Hassan question In today's culture, what are some tips men apply pre marriage and post marriage that can possibly help them create their cases in divorce?
Interesting, okay, okay, so tips apply pre marriage and post marriage and help their case in divorce.
You know, again, I think the best advice is don't get legally married without a prenup.
I think the best advice I can also give as a man is just never, ever, ever react.
Do not argue.
Do not react.
I've seen this happen too much where certain individuals really try to instigate the other person so that they lose their cool.
And then they're able to say, oh, that person's an abuser.
Oh, that person is dangerous or call the police or set them up.
I mean, I've seen this happen.
But look, I got to be real with you.
I think the responsibility is on men.
To really be men.
And a man needs to learn never to react.
You just don't argue.
You don't argue.
If someone works for you, you don't argue with them.
You're their boss.
This is what I say.
This is the rule I've set.
If you like it, thank God.
If you don't, that's fine.
I'm not going to go back and forth with you.
The problem is when a lot of these very bad divorce cases that I've seen that have ended up with domestic violence injunctions, law enforcement, it's because there's a back and forth.
Doesn't mean the guy actually did anything wrong, doesn't mean he hit her, but there was a back and forth.
Learn as a man not to have a back and forth.
Say your peace.
If your word isn't being respected, walk away.
That's it.
Say your peace.
If your word isn't respected, walk away.
It's very hard to get a man who does that in trouble.
It's very hard to set yourself up for failure.
And actually, this is how you have her respect.
The reason a lot of men lose respect is they become too feminine, too reactionary.
The women get used to getting attention through that provocation.
But if you learn to be a man and say your peace, and if you're not being respected, walk away, they will be chasing you and they will be humble in how they approach you.
You know, but that's the best protection.
Don't react.
Okay.
Who's up next here?
What's the main reason prenups get thrown out?
Also, and this comes from Al Boyce, also, what are your thoughts on the soccer player Hakimi putting everything in his mom's name so his ex wife couldn't take anything?
Would you recommend most guys do the same?
So, main reason prenups get thrown out, and then thoughts on Hakimi putting everything in his mom's name?
Great question.
So, in terms of prenups being thrown out, one reason can be that there wasn't fair and full financial disclosure.
So, in different states, they have different requirements for a valid prenup.
Like some states, like California, especially if you're giving up alimony and spousal support, can require Two attorneys, you know, one attorney representing each spouse.
Not all states require attorneys to sign on to the agreement.
With that being said, you have to have, and people forget this number one is you have to have full and fair financial disclosure.
So you have to literally disclose all of your assets, all of your debt, all of your income.
Do it in writing and exchange the documents.
If you don't do that, prenup can be thrown out.
Number two, can't be a shotgun prenup.
It cannot be just provided the day before the wedding.
I always recommend having.
It's like duress, right?
It's a duress.
Exactly.
They could say it was duress, coercion.
So you always like to show that.
There's time, time between when you present the prenup to your potential spouse or your partner, and time between when they sign it, and time between when you get married.
So, in an ideal world, again, if you can have a month between the time they get it and the time they sign it, and between the time they sign it and the time they get legally married, that'd be the best.
But even having 30 days at least, yeah, that would be great.
But even in some states, actually have a requirement, like a requirement according to statute, that it must be this many days.
You know, but I would say at the very, very least, at the very least, have a week between the time that they receive it to the time they sign it and between the time they sign it and the time that they get married.
Keep a week buffer on each side.
If you can do a month buffer on each side, the longer the time, the harder it is to argue.
So, you know, it's not full disclosure.
It could also be having, you know, wrong terms in there.
Like in the prenup, you cannot get into time sharing, child support, child custody.
Those are reserved for the court.
So you want to avoid issues that are reserved for the jurisdiction of the court.
Sometimes you have issues like unconscionability.
Now, Florida is great because the way they do the prenups is they basically say that as long as the agreement wasn't unconscionable at the time that it was put together, you know, we will most likely hold it together.
Some states say no, the agreement has to also be great and fair and reasonable at the time of the divorce, even though the circumstances of the parties have changed.
So you need to account for that.
Sometimes you have to ensure that within the prenup, you account for change in circumstance because what you don't want in the prenup also is to have a situation where either party is going to be forced to go on welfare or something like that.
If it's something like that, then those provisions can be challenged.
So we actually have very creative language.
You can't leave her destitute, obviously.
Exactly, you can't.
And what we do, and this is part of the tradition, but we have something where it doesn't matter who's wealthier and who's poorer, but the wife will get a certain amount of Money in the event of a divorce, and this amount of money is dependent on the length of the marriage.
I don't like it to be a flat amount.
I don't like it to be a percentage because then people can litigate what is the income, etc.
But we actually put a certain amount of money that they're entitled.
Then we have provision that this is not spousal support because if it is, it can be modified potentially.
However, it is meant to ensure that they don't remain in desperate need or destitute, and therefore there should be no spousal support and they've opted out of spousal support.
However, if for any reason, That, you know, some court overturns that and applies spousal support, then the person will be credited for those payments that they've made that are not spousal support.
Again, there's creative language we can put in there that can leave the situation much more amicable and just for all parties involved.
And this is why it's so important to get one because everyone is different.
Like it could be where you and her come in with a lot of money and she might agree.
No, if we break off, everyone takes their own stuff, whatever.
Because at that point, you can make the, you wouldn't, she wouldn't be destitute because she has her own money.
Exactly.
So they're very fact specific.
And this is why when we do our prenups, we have our client.
Fill out a financial affidavit.
We ask that their partner does it as well.
We review it and then we come up with creative solutions based on that.
If there's like a huge income disparity, so the guy doesn't get destroyed on the way out, but at the same time, she's not left destitute because if she's left destitute, then the freedom could get thrown out.
And what we apply, by the way, real quick, is sometimes we say, listen, if the wife leaves work to raise kids, maybe she gets an extra stipend.
You know, we can do certain things that are there's different tools we got.
Yeah.
What if I had Cryptona wallet, no one knows about, and I just said, hey, listen, This is my bank account.
There you go.
So, listen, in terms of.
That'll get you fucked up, right?
No, yeah, yeah.
So, listen.
How would they know, Myron?
Well, I mean, that's a great question.
How would they know?
So, as a lawyer, I have to say.
It's in Tanzania.
As a lawyer, I have to say that you have to, when you're doing a prenup, financially disclose everything that you have.
Yeah.
If they catch you hiding anything, then they could throw the whole thing away.
You know, that's the legal advice that I would have to say.
Now, if somebody.
Say, I'm representing, I got to be careful how I frame this, but say I'm framing a wife and the husband happened to have a crypto wallet and it was so old that because you could go back several years when you file for divorce, you can go back in discovery, et cetera, but it was so old and disconnected and we never found out about it.
So, how are we going to enforce it?
I'll be honest, dude, it happens a lot where people cheat and lie about their income.
Sometimes, I'll be honest with you, I think ethically, I'm not speaking as a lawyer right now, just as a human, I think sometimes it's ethically allowed to in certain circumstances.
I would never encourage lying.
You should never lie to court.
You should never lie in legal proceedings.
But I can understand why some people justify that.
Hide their stuff.
Hide their stuff because they work so hard and now, you know, they caught their wife cheating on them and now their wife is taken.
Like, it's wild that in America, your wife or husband can cheat on you and then they could still make you pay to live with the person they cheated on you with.
It's insane.
You know what I'm saying?
Can I add to your story real quick?
Yeah.
I know a guy in Miami, very successful guy, prominent as well.
He met his girlfriend about a year ago.
His girlfriend, Beautiful girl makes good money.
She told me she worked as a um She worked as a VIP host.
How long?
Right?
Hurrah!
Hurrah!
Hurrah, my mom!
Six months into the relationship, he finds out that she's a stripper.
So she lied and he married her.
Oh my God.
So she was cheating the whole time.
A stripper, low key.
I don't know how you didn't notice.
And she wants to divorce him now.
And in that case, like, what does he do?
Because he has money stacked away, but like, she doesn't know about it.
He needs to talk to me offline.
How long were they together?
One year.
So, one year, the good news is this.
Listen, here's the good news.
In a one year marriage, it's not that all everything you have is split 50 50, it's only what was accumulated during the marriage.
So, in one year, the most she could go for, she I don't think she's really going to have a case for alimony in a one year marriage.
And if even if then, what six months worth?
And then there isn't they're officially married for a year, yeah, one year, bro.
Wow, yeah, but isn't that considered like an annulment too?
If there is, I just won an annulment actually for my client.
And the judge literally, I was actually very proud, I'm not gonna lie, but the judge literally said, You know what?
They asked my client, Is everything in that in Mr. Shibley's petition correct?
He's like, Yes.
She's like, Well, because I know Mr. Shibley and I trust his work, I'm going to grant it.
These aren't usually very easy to get.
And that's why it's so important because one of the things I value as a lawyer is sometimes my clients want me to say certain things in front of the judge and BS.
I don't do it.
You can't pay me any amount of money to BS in legal proceedings or to be dishonest or to misrepresent.
And the judges can tell when you're honest, when you're fair.
And that actually helps your reputation with all of your other clients as well.
So, like, the greatest thing you have is your reputation, it makes a difference.
But any.
How long were they married that you got it annulled?
Oh, no, it was very short term.
Yeah, it was very, very short.
How short does it got to be for you to be a.
It's not just about the length.
It can come down to things like consummation, you know, whether the parties lived together, whether they consummated, you know, those go a long way.
So, but if you've lived together, if you've consummated, it's really hard to get things annulled.
You know what I'm saying?
So that's what it is.
But, you know, the shorter the length and the fact that there's no consummation, no cohabitation, that would be the best situation for that.
Yeah, exactly.
So, Sorry, with your guy.
So he.
So, long story short, he had crypto in the wallet.
Yeah.
Hidden.
He didn't disclose it.
And they finished the case and he's good.
He's good now?
Okay.
Anyway, as a lawyer, I can't advise that, but.
But she lied.
She was a stripper.
I mean, that's fucked up, man.
Well, that's what I'm saying.
I think there are times, look, legally, again, if I was his lawyer, you know, I would not have wanted to know about that because it would put the lawyer in a very difficult situation because you have a duty of candor.
And I'm not going to risk my license for anyone.
100%.
But I can say as a human, I can understand why someone in that situation would not disclose.
You know what I'm saying?
Especially if she cheated on him and she likes half of it.
No.
What a dumbass.
It was funny.
Hold on.
Why is he so retarded?
Bro, this guy's in Miami with money.
She told him, she told him, if you get prenup, I don't want to marry you.
And she kept that going for like a month.
He's like, why is he so attached, though?
That's the thing.
You got to have independence.
She's good looking.
Bro, but there's a dime a dozen in Miami good looking.
Listen, a dime a dozen.
They're worthless.
There's no value to beauty in Miami.
We know.
We know.
But some guys are like, come to my money.
Somebody now are rich.
Yeah.
And that's what they want to use their money for.
And I I think that's the problem.
Men forgot to be men, bro.
And they've lost their dignity and their self respect.
And a lot of these problems, honestly, again, I have a huge problem with feminism.
I think it's destroying families and households.
But men have to know how to be men, how to value themselves, how to draw lines, how to draw boundaries, how to never chase, and how to actually be content just trying to be the best version of themselves and everything else will work its way.
Yeah.
Good point.
Yeah.
No, I guess you just got lucky in that situation.
But yeah, dude, I mean, I would argue, I think the best thing to do is disclose everything and make sure your prenup is ironclad.
Yeah.
That would be great.
That I think is the best way to go because, like, if it's ironclad, Then you could fully disclose everything.
And then, because my thing, I'm looking at it like, what if she challenged the prenup later?
You didn't disclose all your financial stuff, and Ironcloud was good.
Ironclad Agreements and Child Support00:11:19
The prenup was fantastic outside of that.
Now it's thrown out.
Now you're cooked.
Right, right, right.
So is it worth, like, is it worth, oh, I don't want to disclose my crypto wallet?
Well, if you had a good prenuptial agreement, you don't got to worry about anything.
Exactly.
And the truth of the matter is, again, remember, you don't split all the assets.
You just split the assets that were accumulated during the marriage if you don't have a prenup.
I think the best, first of all, I just don't think people should get legally married.
But if they need to get legally married, get a prenup.
And if you don't get legally married, still get the contracts in place to protect everyone's rights.
You need some type of agreement regardless of what you do.
Whether it's a regular relationship and you guys live together, cohabitation.
If you're getting married legally with the government involved, get a prenupcial agreement that's ironclad.
Because of Murphy's Law, something's going to go wrong.
Even with business contracts, man, we do business, partnerships, friends.
Bro, you cannot go wrong investing in having the right agreement because the right agreement makes a meeting of the minds.
It makes sure that there's a meeting of the minds with the parties.
That's really, I think, my best relationship marriage saving advice.
If I had to pick two, it is do not get legally married without a prenup and never react.
Good points.
We got the callers or no?
Yes.
Okay.
All right.
We can hit the phone.
You want to hit the phone line now, then?
Yeah.
We'll hit the phone guy then.
7534.
You're up.
7534.
7534.
Go ahead.
All right.
Can you hear me?
We got you.
We got you.
What's your question?
All right.
I'm a single dad of four kids.
And I am trying to figure out from a judge's perspective.
I've been doing it for about four years now.
Mom's coming back into the kids' lives.
She has like every other weekend.
She's behind 15,000 in child support.
I feel like it's better that I keep the kids and not do like a 50 50 because I've established a routine and structure and everything like that.
What do you think a judge would do?
Which state are you in?
I'm in Indiana.
Indiana.
All right.
So I'm not going to give you state specific or even personal advice to you again legally because it comes with the responsibility.
But just generally speaking, from my experience, again, this is not.
Personal legal advice.
But generally speaking, a judge sees through that.
You know, if a judge sees that a mother abandoned the kids for four or five years, a dad's been raising them, has built a routine, it's built a life around that, the mom is majorly in, you know, owing retroactive child support, you know, I don't necessarily believe, you know, see that a judge would jump to 50 50 at that point.
The 50 50 in Florida is a default presumption, but that presumption can be overcome.
And if I were to go before a judge in your honor, This mother hasn't been involved at all, you know, and now it's just coming back.
And for these reasons, it doesn't make sense to go for 50 50.
I think there's an argument to be made.
So, look, judges are human, and you could have, you know, two different judges will make two different decisions.
You know, it's also about whether they like you, it's about how you interact.
I think family court can often be a circus, but you want to be likable to the judge.
It does make a difference, and you want a lawyer that knows how to interact with the judge.
But I think ultimately, if a judge sees that you've been raising the kids yourself for so long, And you can show them how it really would, the mother now just coming in would disrupt their life.
You know, I think there's a strong argument against 50 50 in that.
Again, not legal advice, just practical experience.
But I'll say 15K in four years is.
Sorry, go ahead.
When it comes to the whole child support thing, here in Indiana, the person that makes more money has to pay child support, even when it's 50.
So, would it be smart just to let it keep on racking up just in case it does go 50 50 at some point?
Oh, so just to be, you know, in every state, just about, even if it's 50 50, the parent that makes more money will have to pay the other child support.
So, look, you can continue to allow the child support to rack up, even as it is.
You know, and then it's really up to you whether you enforce that or not.
Look, in Florida, you can get arrested if you don't pay child support.
You can lose your driver's license if you don't pay child support.
I personally, you know, again, not legal advice, just practically speaking.
For me, I don't, if, you know, I'm not really big on pushing for a mother to pay child support to a father unless there's a legitimate need.
I'm totally cool with a guy who just says, you know what, they're my kids.
I want to step up to the plate.
But it, you know, I do find it to be helpful to use that.
Child support that's owed as leverage in case the mother is causing disruptions, is causing problems, then you could always choose to go ahead and enforce that.
But a lot of times I tell fathers, like, listen, I can get you the kids, and I've done this.
I've gotten some fathers 100% custody, and I can say, I'll get you the 100% custody, but I'm not going to go after her for child support.
But if the situation gets too shaky, you can always pursue child support.
You can even go for retroactive child support later down the road.
So that's just a personal decision to make in terms of whether you pursue it or not.
And you may have a legitimate reason to pursue it, especially if she's abandoned the kids for years.
And you have a financial need for it, then there's no harm in doing that.
But I think that's a personal choice.
All right.
Yeah, it was mainly used for lead bridge.
Right.
I respect that.
Hey, but thanks for calling in, man.
We'll move on to the next person.
No worries.
Good question.
Let's see.
We'll answer.
I think we got a couple more chats, and then we'll do one free on the phone.
And then we do have to do after hours after this, guys.
The time flew, bro.
Yeah, it flew by.
I do need to give a few also before we wrap up some key legal advice to everyone that I was going to do it right before we close so they can.
You know, make sure they have it.
And guys, like episodes like this are very important, man.
Like I said, this isn't really about going viral.
I know some of you guys probably, you know, can really use some of this advice right now.
Maybe you guys are in a tough spot or you know someone that you love that's going through this.
So, what else do we got here?
Yeah, this can save you a lot of time and headache.
Yes.
Is there a way to avoid having to pay alimony even if you are legally married or are you cooked?
Yeah, so, okay.
Number one is if you have a prenup, that would be the best way.
The number two, I mean, I got out of my 12 year marriage without paying alimony.
Why?
Because my ex made false allegations that led me to resign my job, that led me to be unemployed.
You know what I'm saying?
So there are ways to get out of alimony.
We fought against alimony for many of our clients.
We've done so successfully, many of our clients.
I'm not necessarily, and everything we do is legal and ethical.
Uh, maybe a little bit difficult to get into all the details of it, but generally, if you're unemployed and it's beyond your control, that's a way to get out of alimony.
The expenses you have could be a way to get out of alimony.
There's a lot of different options, and just hit us up and you know, for a direct consultation, we could talk about advice that can benefit your situation.
Good stuff, yeah, because it seems like it's very like it depends on a multitude of different factors.
Like I said, every now and then, dude, we got to do a show like this, uh, for you guys.
Hey, it's not gonna go as viral, oh, it's not gonna be, oh.
Is this going to be all over the place, vile on Twitter?
No, but this might save your life.
Let's see here.
K. Kruger says, or C. K. C. Kruger says, as a regular dude, can I and should I do an NDA on my girl to discourage online lies or even truth since I'm in public service?
What is the process for that?
So, yeah, I mean, there's absolutely room for non disclosure agreements, confidentiality agreements, non disparagement agreements.
And look, those are not going to protect someone if they engage in actual abuse and criminal activity.
But for a lot of times, I encourage people that are in the limelight, in public service, Contact us or lawyers you trust on how to protect your reputation.
I think 50% of it is about who you allow into your life, but the other 50% is still knowing what legal mechanisms to have in place.
And yeah, we live in a world right now where anyone can pick up their phone and write something and destroy someone's life.
Yeah, it's that easy.
Or whatever, and then boom, you know, you got a government clearance or you're doing some type of stuff.
Like, yeah, they can destroy your life.
Yeah, so there are ways to protect yourself, and I think it's a worthwhile investment to speak with intern about what sort of templates, legal docs you should have in place to protect yourself.
That makes sense, especially for someone like you got a government job, you got a Clarence, you're a lawyer, you're a doctor, you got like a precious license you're trying to protect.
100%.
That might be a good idea.
Wow, I didn't think about that.
A lot of business guys have NDAs on their like parties and yachts just because it's just safer.
Man, a lot of my friends and clients, some of them, even when visiting their homes just to enter their premise, you have to sign multiple waivers and NDAs.
Now, again, the level of enforceability and applicability is different, but it can make a big difference.
You know what I'm saying?
It can make a big, big difference.
Yeah, good point.
Who's up next?
All right, we could do one more phone call and then Hassan will give some parting advice on the way out.
You got a real lawyer here, man.
Yeah, I mean, look, I want to make sure that we get this information out for you guys.
Like I said, I said, you know, I'm not going to do a debrief today because this is that important for you guys.
5895, you're up.
5895, you're up.
What's up, man?
What's your question?
Hello?
Yeah.
Hello.
Hello, how are you doing?
It's an honor to be in the show, Myron.
What's up, brother?
How are you?
Ask your question.
What's your question?
Okay, so I got a question.
Like, what is your advice for the younger generation to succeed in life?
That's actually a great question.
What is your advice for the younger generation to succeed in life?
Just keep the gratitude attitude.
Yeah.
Literally, keep the gratitude attitude and understand that our elevation is through our tribulation.
It's your outlook, it's not what happens to you that defines you, but how you react to it.
I went through a situation where I literally lost everything.
And when I lost everything, I remained grateful.
I remained patient.
I remained steadfast.
And I just pulled myself back together with the help of God.
I became more successful, more well known, more wealthier than I was before.
It's always about how you react.
And if you can always have a grateful attitude and just appreciate the gift of life and make the most of what you've been given and understand that tribulation only serves to elevate you.
If you react appropriately, you will rise high.
So most people are defeated by their own mindset.
But if you keep an optimistic mindset, you keep your trust in God and you work hard, no matter what happens to you, you will come out of everything a winner.
And I believe I'm a testament to that.
I mean, they literally told me, we're going to destroy your ability to do public service, civil rights, public speaking, we're going to bury you.
And thank God, through their attempts to bury me, it freed me.
I stopped caring what anyone thinks.
I stopped caring what the liberal media thinks.
I wasn't afraid to speak truth to power.
And again, my wealth went up 10x.
My following went up 10x.
It's because I stopped fearing people.
I stopped living a life of trying to impress people.
I stopped living a life trying to care what people think of me.
I just did the right thing at the right time, each and every time.
And I was able to grow stronger than that.
So that's people get held back because they give too much of a damn about what other people think.
Stop giving a damn what people think.
Live your life.
Do what's best for you at each and every time, and what's best for your loved ones without caring what people think.
Liberate yourself from the opinion of others.
Do what's right, and you will grow no matter what happens to you.
All right.
Good stuff.
There you go.
Cool.
Speaking Truth to Power00:06:29
So, thanks, man, for calling again.
All right.
So, Hassan, I know you said you wanted to.
Parting words?
Yeah.
Parting words for the people.
Yes.
Some tips that you want to give.
Absolutely.
So, I'm just going to share some of the most important legal advice that I've come across throughout my life.
Number one, when it comes to traveling across the border as an American citizen, they have to let you in the country.
Yeah.
So, if you ever get picked for random inspection at the border and you're a citizen, don't answer any of their questions.
You have no obligation to answer any of their questions and don't be scared.
Keep your mouth shut.
Say, I'm an American citizen.
This is my ID.
Let me know I can go in.
If they ask to unlock your cell phone at the border or for your password, you have no legal obligation to unlock it or give them the password.
They may threaten to take the phone away, but I've seen them take the phone away more often when you unlock it and when you give the password.
So do not unlock the phone.
Do not answer questions at the border if you're an American citizen.
That's number one.
Number two is if you're ever approached by the FBI for questioning, never, ever speak to the FBI without a lawyer.
You cannot talk yourself out of trouble.
You can only talk yourself into trouble.
You can't say it until proven guilty.
Yeah.
You know, so do not talk to the FBI without a lawyer.
And the same can apply for local police as well.
The same can apply for local police.
Number three, if you feel like you may be targeted by false accusations by the government, by someone that worked for you, by the opposite gender, whatever it is, contact a lawyer right away to kill it before it becomes a problem.
Okay.
And especially big for, like you were saying before, false allegations.
Exactly.
Really big.
Number four.
Is never get legally married without a prenup.
I mean, these are sort of some of the like literally this advice, all of it would save lives.
And I give you stories about how it saved lives, but this advice, knowing your rights with law enforcement, knowing your rights as it comes to your marriage and your relationship, you know, can literally save your life.
So just don't get legally married without a prenup.
Don't talk to law enforcement without a lawyer.
Ever.
Ever.
Ever, guys.
Ever.
Contact the lawyer.
And I, again, I do a just one hour segment, one hour lecture on that.
And that was, I got stories for days on that, but just take my word for it.
People think that, oh, I got nothing to hide.
So there's no reason that I shouldn't speak to them.
But trust me, many innocent people with nothing to hide have destroyed their lives when they spoke without a lawyer.
So just don't talk to the FBI or law enforcement without a lawyer.
At the border, if you're an American citizen, don't answer extra questions and do not unlock your phone.
Um, and thirdly, just don't get legally married without a prenup.
That's my advice and keep a lawyer you trust.
You know, if you, if you need help, feel free to reach out to me and my team.
Uh, we're always here, you know, happy to help Muslim legal.com or you can hit us up, uh, Hassan Shibley ESQ on Instagram.
Oh, put all your socials below.
Appreciate it, guys.
Thanks so much.
Thank you so much.
Make sure you definitely, and he practices here in Florida, but he also does federal.
And, you know, as you guys can see, very diversified in a multitude of different things.
Also, very base.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's why you have so many good clients.
Yeah.
Yes, sir.
So, real quick before we go, you want to say anything?
Because I know you work with Dan.
You want to talk about the political stuff real quick?
Yeah.
So, we're, I mean, listen, Florida has a national and international embarrassment that is named Randy Fine.
This is someone who's just, I mean, really as uncivilized as they get.
Yeah.
You know, uncivilized as they get.
Yeah.
I mean, he's literally post pictures of babies.
Now, I don't.
Care if those babies are Muslim, Jewish, Palestinian, Arab, Christian, white, black.
Anybody who posts pictures of dead babies and celebrates it is an abomination.
Is just disgusting, is uncivilized, is demonic, is satanic.
Only Satan celebrates dead babies.
This person posts pictures of dead Palestinian babies and celebrates them.
I would be equally outraged if he did that with Jewish babies.
I'm sorry, you gotta be sicker than sick to celebrate the killing of innocent children.
He said the bloods of Gaza should flow with blood.
I mean, demonic, satanic.
So he's the worst of the worst.
Daniel Zieran is running against him for Congress.
To unseat him, I encourage everyone.
Listen, I've known Dan.
I mean, from the first night I met Dan, when he texted me, his first words to me were literally, My hedonistic days are over.
I just want to be a force for good in the world.
You know, I've done everything that people dream of in life and didn't bring me happiness.
But I want to speak out against this evil that I see.
I want to speak out against injustice.
I want to be truly America first.
I want to keep American tax dollars at home.
So he's running for Congress.
I'm happy to support his campaign.
I got some interesting things that are coming up that I think you'll hear about soon.
But I encourage everyone, you know, Follow him on X. You'll see the link, donate to support his campaign, and get all of your friends in the district where Randy Fine is that can vote to vote this Randy out.
Yeah, he's got to get out.
He's an embarrassment to all of us.
Yeah, 100%.
Cool.
And where's the best place people can find you?
Oh, just on X.
It's my name, Hassan Shibley, on Instagram, Hassan Shibley ESQ.

So, we got this amazing Catholic Italian American attorney who's been actually doing family law for over 20 years and does appellate work.
So, she's some of the best of the best.
From South Florida, actually.
So she's joining my firm, and we're going to keep her firm open as well.
We're joining forces.
So we have the Muslim legal name on one end.
We're going to have another name for that firm.
We didn't announce it yet, so I'm not going to say it yet, but we'll have a name that I think can resonate with a lot of people.
