The host of Grateful by Lady Law, Mandy Gruhlkey, grew up in a small town in Texas, never dreaming she would leave that town nor the state of Texas. A decision to follow a boy after she graduated from high school led her to Nebraska and started her on the path to meet many unique and inspiring people. The relationships she made over the years motivated her to earn her teaching degree, attend law school and become a successful practicing attorney who has experience in many areas of the law and has helped hundreds of people. The path from Texas to the courtroom was not an easy one, and Mandy has experienced many hardships along the way. Through them all, she has had the support, encouragement and love of friends, mentors, and unlikely acquaintances that have impressed upon her resilience and a drive to be always move forward.
Retired Judge Lawrence "Larry" Gender served as a Sarpy County Juvenile Court Judge for 28 years. For almost 15 years, he was the project chair of the Nebraska Supreme Court statewide initiative, "Through the Eyes of the Child,” a cooperative effort involving local stakeholders who work to improve the child welfare and juvenile justice systems. Over the years, Judge Gendler has made a positive impact on the lives of many, including Mandy Gruhlkey, as his courtroom was the first she practiced law in as a new attorney. Mandy realized quickly that she and Judge Gendler were like-minded when it came to child welfare, and she learned and continues to learn many valuable lessons concerning compassion, collaboration, and professionalism from this treasured mentor.
