you know it’s something that i just

always wanted to be and always wanted to

do and i don’t know why it’s probably

what appeals to me is a little bit of

the underdog mentality

and the aspect of helping somebody out

who’s in need

what guides my work is my is my client

and trying to help them out in the best

way possible at bottom

what criminal defense is is just helping

somebody who’s got a problem and whether

they did something or they didn’t do

something they’re being accused of

something pretty serious and the

consequences can be very severe and what

my job is is to help them with that is

to help make sure that they’re

represented properly that their rights

are upheld that they know what their

options are and that they make a

decision knowingly and intelligently in

terms of how their case is handled

the most rewarding aspect is to get a

satisfying result for a client and what

a satisfying result is going to be

different and it’s going to be based on

each particular client in each

particular case but it always feels good

to know that you that you did

what your client needed and you helped

your client out in the best way possible

[Music]

sometimes it’s banging your head against

the wall but uh you try to keep a

professional relationship you try to

establish that relationship based on

your prior experiences with them or your

knowledge of the law

or just your professionalism whether you

get along with the prosecutor or not

you have to at least have a professional

relationship with them to help your

clients
