I don’t have to deal with that assumption very much; people tend to know that public defender money isn’t the same as other attorney money. However, the most common assumption is that we are public defenders because we couldn’t get a job anywhere else.

I love what you are saying, and the glimpse inside, as so many of us can identify with you. However, I am a bit concerned that you are potentially violating atty client privilege by pointing out that it was a real client that could potentially be identified…. just a thought. Anyway, keep up the good work.

I was once fired by a client after I managed to get him acquitted at a jury trial of two counts of lewd conduct with a minor. H e told me he just didn’t think I worked hard enough for him. He then hired another lawyer and was convicted of felony charges in another case. I was also sued by a client because I got the prosecuting attorney to dismiss felony aggravated assault charges against her. If you want our clients to say thanks, I would say you are looking for love in all the wrong places.
