Inspiring Conversations with Marc Wasserman of Pot Brothers at Law

Today we’d like to introduce you to Marc Wasserman.

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
My path to practicing law is a little different. Growing up aspiring to be an actor took me down a couple of avenues. These include work in theatre and film, as well as producing, writing, and directing independent films. You can find an extensive history of his work via IMDB. Somewhere along the way, he put his hand into studying law as well. I decided I wanted to make money to finance plays and films I was writing and figured, since my older brother was able to become a lawyer I could do it.

After passing the bar on the third attempt in 1996, I bounced my way into practicing law immediately opening my own solo practice. This was right when Prop 215 came out, and I was going to court for any case I could get, eventually landing on criminal defense. I was also able to start financing plays and films. Several films I wrote, produced and star in are available on Amazon.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
There is no such thing as a smooth road. Especially when working for yourself. First and foremost you have to get clients. I always had a way of meeting people, being social and landing new opportunities to get clients.

Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
For 30 years I have been representing people accused of crimes. As a criminal defense attorney most of my clients are NOT criminals but someone who made a bad decision or mistake. Of course there are clients who are criminals and understand they may go to jail.
For the past 11 years my brother and have taken social media by storm educating the public on their constitutional and civil rights when dealing with law enforcement. We are KNOWN as the Shut the Fuck Up Guys as our basic tag line is to use The Script and Shut the Fuck Up when cops ask questions. We have Shut the Fuck Up Trademarked foe legal services. Very proud of The Script we created. The script is when you politely say 29-words based on your 4th 5th and 6th and keep quiet and never consent to searches and always film them and comply with all physical commands like handing over or presenting license insurance registration and exit the vehicle when asked. THE SCRIPT: “Why Did You Pull Me Over?” “I’m Not Discussing My Day ” ” Am I Being Detained or Am I Free to Go?” (If detained) “I invoke the 5th, I want my lawyer ” and then you SHUT THE FUCK UP

Who else deserves credit in your story?
My parents have always supported my dreams and goals, whether as an actor or lawyer. My wife of 22 years has been a great motivating factor always supporting my choice to be and activist and advocate in the public eye
