Synopsis

This book covers 31 unique criminal issues, which I worked on as a both a prosecutor and now as a criminal defense attorney. The book starts with an introduction on my experience as a prosecutor, and why I decided to become a criminal defense lawyer. We then go over all 31 issues in detail, and how a prosecutor views each issue on day one. We discuss how by being proactive outside of the courtroom, and creating leverage inside of the courtroom, we can work toward a great result for the client. On day one a prosecutor has a very limited amount of information about the person charged with a crime. It's the job of the defense team to humanize the client and the case, and add additional information to be considered. It's my goal to turn a not-so-great first impression into a TRUE impression of my client. As a criminal defense lawyer, I am very selective in the cases and clients that I take on. Our firm ends up turning down more cases than we take on. Each case and client needs a customized approach, and we develop goals for each case. My goal for every case is to get to the right result. I want to know my clients goals and put a plan in place to hit every goal. We're aware of the prosecutor and judge and their goals for each case, and we work together to come to the right result. Some clients go to trial, most work toward resolution, which is hopefully more favorable to the client than it would have been without working with me. This might mean reduction or dismissal of charges, a better more manageable sentence, but most importantly the tools and mindset to go forward a productive and more responsible person for their family, career and life.
