Criminal Court is a place where someone's life can be irrevocably changed for the worse. I have born witness to incredible injustice being done to innocent people. I have also seen a person sacrificed and thrown away by the system without being given any chance at redemption. Seeing these stories play out is what drives me as a defense attorney, to protect people from being crushed by the system.
