Episode You Can Know the Law and Still Be Surprised | Chacha Odera on Why the Law Is Never the Whole Story
"Maternity is a fact. Paternity is faith."
That's how Chacha Odera opened. And it only got deeper from there.
With nearly four decades in practice, Chacha Odera has sat across the table from people at their worst — fighting over children, estates, and identities. He's watched families unravel in courtrooms. He's seen laws lag behind the very lives they're meant to govern.
In this conversation, we talk about what the law really says when paternity is questioned, why a man can be legally bound to a child he didn't father, what happens to your estate when no one knows where your will is, and what 38 years in a courtroom teaches you about people.
He is, as one colleague put it, "an extremely able advocate and a gentleman in all manner of the word."
This is Chacha Odera.
