Winona, MN Criminal Defense Attorney J.P. Plachecki shares his story of deciding to become a lawyer. Up to the present moment, the answer remains elusive. Just a few weeks prior to the commencement of college, there were no concrete plans in place. Seeking guidance, the individual in question consulted two friends, discovering their intention to enroll at St. Mary’s College. Inspired by this, the decision to follow suit emerged. A similar approach was adopted upon achieving a notable accomplishment—graduating in the top five percent of the college class. However, even then, uncertainty lingered regarding the future path. Mere days before the imminent start of law school, a choice was made to apply, reflecting a pattern of decisions made relatively close to deadlines.
