People just have different styles.

And...

I don't know.

Like, again, my husband, I think he's more of like the, okay, tell me what happened.

Like, you know what I mean?

And he really feels like, okay, I need like all of the information so that I can, you know, craft the best defense.

I kind of think I really love trial.

And so I'm always kind of thinking about like, okay, well, how would this like play out at trial?

And so...

honestly i i usually like if a client really just wants to like tell me everything i'm like okay like you know you can let me hear it but i will tell you like let's say we end up going to trial and you decide to testify and on the stand you say something different than what you told me and i know that you're lying it's like then um that puts me in a real ethical quandary where i can't knowingly present false evidence to the court

And so then I would be like ethically obligated to withdraw.

But then it's like the judge obviously can read between the lines.

And you know what I mean?

Kind of knows what.

So I really like try to avoid that.

What I love about criminal defense is that you can be really creative.

Like it's like what possible alternative options.

scenario could these facts point to?

Right.

And actually there usually is, you know what I mean?
