As clients who regularly hire and collaborate with attorneys on various matters, Macky Outlaw and Jus discuss the qualities that set apart excellent attorneys from those who do not meet expectations.

From our experiences, we highlight the key traits of a great attorney: clear and prompt communication (explaining legal concepts in plain language, providing timely updates, and responding to inquiries), strong listening skills and empathy (understanding client needs and concerns), relevant experience and expertise in the specific area of law, thorough preparation and attention to detail, integrity and transparency (honest evaluations of cases, clear fee structures, and no unrealistic promises), creative problem-solving, and a genuine commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for the client.

We also address common warning signs of a poor attorney: poor communication (delayed responses, lack of updates, or unclear explanations), lack of preparation or organization (missed deadlines or disorganized work), unrealistic assurances about results, unprofessional demeanor (arrogance, condescension, or lack of enthusiasm), unclear or inconsistent billing practices, and failure to prioritize client interests.

This discussion offers practical insights for anyone who hires attorneys—whether for personal, business, or other needs—based on real client observations. We welcome your thoughts in the comments: What experiences have you had with attorneys that stand out as particularly positive or negative?

As private investigators with years of hands-on experience in the field, Macky Outlaw and Jus discuss the practical qualities and daily habits that separate good investigators from the rest.

We emphasize foundational everyday practices that contribute to consistent success: showing up on time (punctuality builds trust with clients and ensures you never miss key opportunities during surveillance or meetings), inspecting your gear before starting the day (checking cameras, batteries, notebooks, vehicles, and other equipment to avoid failures in the moment), maintaining strong interview skills (asking open-ended questions, actively listening, reading non-verbal cues, and knowing how to follow up effectively to uncover truthful information), and developing the ability to connect with people (building rapport quickly, showing genuine interest, adapting your approach to different personalities, and earning trust to get people to open up).

We also touch on related traits that support these habits: attention to detail, patience and persistence, discretion and ethical conduct, clear communication (especially in reports and client updates), and thorough preparation for each assignment.

This episode shares straightforward, field-tested insights for fellow investigators, those considering the profession, attorneys who work with PIs, or anyone interested in what really goes into effective private investigation work. Share your own habits or experiences in the comments—what daily routine or people skill has made the biggest difference for you?

In this episode, Macky Outlaw and Jus dive into one of the most shocking true crime stories you've probably never heard: Dr. Glennon Edward Engleman, the respected St. Louis dentist who secretly became a cold-blooded serial killer and contract killer.

Over more than two decades (from the late 1950s to 1980), Engleman planned and carried out at least five confirmed murders—possibly up to seven or more—all driven by greed through insurance scams, murder-for-hire schemes, and manipulation of the women in his life. From shootings and dynamite explosions to car bombings, his methods were calculated and ruthless, all while maintaining a normal life as a professional dentist.

We break down his known victims, the twisted insurance fraud plots, how he charmed accomplices into helping him, the investigations that finally caught up to him, and why this case inspired elements of horror films like "The Dentist."

If you love deep dives into lesser-known serial killers, double lives, and motive-driven crimes, this one's for you. Hit play and join the conversation!
