I will be perfectly honest with you, people make mistakes. You and I have never been in situations like this, but life is way more complex than just him drinking and driving. Also, to the lawyer offering advice, you are a gem of a human being! |

This is California.
All the looters, police car vandals, burning buildings, also got released, just slap on the wrist. They just bill it to us the hard working Californians.

Gotta hand it to you Californians, you are a resilient group. From the outside looking in, it appears that you all need need to make a whole lotta pretax dollars to live well. It's a beautiful state.

As for the lawyer willing to do this pro-bono who stated he has defended people who have done far worse. Like what? This guy decided to drink and drive and killed an innocent person. A life is lost because of stupid decisions. |

This is only a misdemeanor DUI, with a possible Manslaughter. I've repeatedly represented clients with multiple Murder 1 charges. Gang related where the gang member(s) left their houses and meet up at a common location to exchange guns and ammo for the sole purpose of urban warfare. so yes, there is people FAR FAR worst than a mistaken DWI. . |

As a prosecutor, I've charged and convicted people of drugs and Prostitution rings. My highest conviction that wasn't a plea deal, was a jury trial for a Class 4 felony with a 10 year jail sentence (8 suspended, 2 to serve; with good behavior and time served at 85% it was like 6 months to go post trial) and a full $100,000 penalty with restitution.
As a defense attorney, I've been up to the class 1 and 2 felonies. |

I believe it's okay for a lawyer to offer help and I stand by that! Even the justice system believes in that as well...else all criminals would be condemned and thrown in jail or executed without defense and a trial. |

I would even argue that some of my theft clients were worst. I've had a guy charged with his third felony theft from a major department store. He would design and sew special clothing, like a jacket with a pocket inside, to hold stolen loot.
I've had a woman who I nicknamed "smash and grab"; because she would go into stores and grab everything before running out of Tysons mall and getting on the metro to Maryland. even she admitted to stealing an average of $200,000 retail per year. she would sell it on ebay for roughly a $100,000 a year tax free. she drove a Mercedes that was nicer than my $30k car at the time. |

And this is why most people hate fuckin lawyers. Sleaze for hire. I want to take a shower after just reading your posts. Somebody was killed and you hope the killer is OK, even offer free legal help. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so pathetic. What can you do for the dead women, counselor??

To each his own. I've made a career out of criminal law. Working with and representing police officers, defendants, doctors, lawyers, carpenters and plumbers. I've successfully represented people from all walks of life in the criminal arena. I've helped police prosecute crimes, and defendants get a fair hearing. I've had all kinds of trials and seen almost everything. In the same way a doctor of medicine specializes in feet, hands, or a specific area; - so too do lawyers specialize in areas. I'm an attorney that worked in the criminal side, not the civil. On the civil side, there are tons of ambulance chasing lawyers that will assist the victim(s) in seeking damages and restitution. That was never my speciality. You wouldn't ask a neurosurgeon to operate on your feet and you won't ask a podiatrist to perform surgery on your skull. Defendants need help too, they have rights and are entitled to assistance. Often they suffer the most for a whole host of reasons. Victim's damages and suffering might be temporary, but every defendant will have lasting consequences that can last decades. Many will suffer from PTSD, the same way that military Veterans do when they come back from war. It's traumatic for everyone, and everyone needs help. Victims will have support from friends, family, church, etc. But often defendants don't have any support or assistance. So it's important that they have friends they can turn to help, and often a defense attorney is that "friend" for a small period of time. Good people make mistakes too, we are all human. Have some compassion and assist the defendant as best you can. |

The simple fact is that we don’t know what happened. In the United States, you are innocent until proven guilty. If the defendant is found guilty, he will pay his debt to society and any potential victims. In the meantime, if you have a unique specialized skill or talent – that you can offer to someone – it’s a shame to waste that talent by not at least offering to help. It’s equivalent to a EMT looking at an accident and not offering to help because they aren’t sure who’s at fault. If you’re a doctor, and you can save someone’s life – you try to do it always, or at least you should try to help. I don’t care if you are black lives matter, blue lives, or all lives; the facts remain that EVERYONE needs help from time to time; regardless of your color or creed or situation. If you can help another human, you should do so. |

I honestly don't think this guy is even an attorney. He writes like trash and can't spell in half his posts.....so he either isn't educated or isn't detail oriented enough to care, both the opposite of what lawyers are let alone successful ones. He claims to have retired at like 40 years old. Yeah, sure. Saul Goodman anyone?

In criminal defense, public defenders make about as much as an EMT and can't pick clients just like EMT. Private medical doctors CAN pick and choose clients, and make more $ per hour than 99% of all lawyers. |
