my Approach is that every client’s case
no matter how big or how small is the
most important case that I’m handling
and I take that approach because I know
that it’s the most important case to my
clients and so it doesn’t matter if
someone looking at the case might think
it’s a trivial matter or not that
important I know how important it is to
the person that I’m representing and so
I treat every single case like that uh
because I know that that’s how my
clients would want it to be handled and
I know that it’s how I would want a
lawyer who is representing me or a loved
one to handle their case every step that
we take in a case uh is meant to achieve
whatever goals our clients have and
whether that’s achieving the best
possible sentence or winning a case at
trial our approach is that every single
step in the case is meant to take us
closer to reaching that
goal being successful in the courtroom
requires you to put a lot of time in
outside of the courtroom it takes time
studying the case going over it getting
to know your client you need to know the
facts of the case you need to know it
better than anyone else in that room but
you also need to know everything you can
about your client because it’s not just
about what our clients are accused of
doing it’s about who our clients are and
it’s about being able to show
prosecutors and judges uh that our
clients are real people they’re not just
what they’re accused of doing they’re
not just criminal records they’re real
human beings with real lives and real
life experiences and knowing our clients
is a Hallmark of our practice U because
the better we know the people that we’re
representing the better we can advocate
for them in a courtroom and so in order
to be successful a defense attorney
needs to know not just the case but know
the client
Boston, MA criminal defense attorney Dan Gaudet talks about the philosophy that guides his work and what it takes to be successful in the courtroom.
