“Our clients are extremely important to us, and we recognize they are in a very difficult moment in their lives.  They have past histories we must come to understand and future lives we must strive to protect.  We are their best, and often only friend and advocate in the complex criminal justice system.  I insist we treat our clients the same way we’d want to treat our family, friends or ourselves if we were in the same situation.”
