I'm a big fan.

Well, I have had people retain me pre-charging.

So when they know that an investigation is ongoing, but before a prosecutor has actually decided to move forward.

So I would say

You could get a defense attorney on board as soon as you suspect that you're potentially being investigated for a crime.

Or once you're charged, I would say that's when most people get me on board.

I grew up watching a lot of like Cops and America's Most Wanted with my dad.

Yeah.

And so when I was a kid, I thought I wanted to be a prosecutor, you know, like put the bad guys away.

But like I'm not, you know, very, you know, strong or whatever.

I'll use my brain.

But I think as I grew older, I just realized that people are very dynamic.

And I think that most people are really capable of anything given the right circumstances.

And I mean –

Frankly, I've loved most of my clients.

I think most of my clients are like good people who just made a mistake.

And I think there's something really beautiful about being able to like guide people through that shame and shame.

Basically the latter.

So you'll take, you know, property, crim law, all of those basics.

You typically get an opportunity to pick some classes, like maybe you really want to learn about environmental law or something like that.
