property crimes can sometimes be sort of
emotional cases and what I mean by that
is a prosecutor May view someone who has
been accused of perhaps uh taking baby
formula differently than someone who
goes in and is accused of taking makeup
from Target and so our job is to um take
your case and and do a full analysis of
both the legal and Technical potential
defenses and also possible mitigation
and make sure that the prosecutor sees
and the judge sees a complete person and
not just sort of the cover letter for
your case I think one of the trends that
we have seen that’s really positive in
to in in terms of these offenses is a
trend towards some diversion programs um
trying to stay away from just sort of
rubber stamping convictions on these
cases these sorts of cases are the most
damaging for employment for immigration
for academics and so having Alternatives
and allowing people to try to avoid
convictions is really really helpful and
that is a trend that we’ve been seeing
more and more
