We’re proud to share that Herman Law lead attorney Blake Woodhall was recently featured on an episode of The Glamorous Grind podcast.
In this compelling conversation, Blake discusses historic $4 billion settlement against Los Angeles County for its decades-long failure to protect children in the foster care system. Over the course of 65 years, more than 11,000 survivors endured abuse in foster care, juvenile detention centers, and at the notorious MacLaren Hall.
Blake offers a behind-the-scenes look at the legal battle to hold the county accountable, the emotional toll of representing survivors, and how this landmark case is driving systemic reform to protect future generations.
He also shares insights into the persistence it took to gather thousands of survivor statements, the long-term impacts of childhood abuse, and his advice for whistleblowers and mandatory reporters seeking to make a difference.
We are honored to have Blake as part of our team and grateful for his relentless dedication to justice for survivors.
