People ask me if I went into criminal defense because I don’t trust the police. Oddly, that couldn’t be further from the truth. I went into criminal defense for a lot of reasons- mostly because I’ve always been concerned about my rights and how to protect them. Also, because the “cool kids” always wanted to “put the bad guys away” and if the cool kids are doing one thing, I’m doing the opposite.
Even when I first went into criminal law, I wasn’t necessarily suspicious of what the police did/said/wrote.
