Are trials the best protection for those charged with crimes?

[00:00:00]I think we create a sanctuary for our Spanish-speaking clients cuz they they are immediately more trusting of the environment they're in if there is proficiency in their language at that law office during this crisis. We're crisis management. Yeah, I love that about your firm that you that you [snorts] put that in your title.

[00:00:17]Criminal defense crisis management, you know. Our job at the end of the day is not to go to trial. I you know, I'm not saying our job is to avoid a trial. What I'm saying is what we sell to people, what we bring to people, whether we're public defenders or private attorneys, is creating a better outcome from a bad situation. Our clients come to us in crisis and they need to leave our offices less in crisis, right? Whether that's from the first meeting cuz they feel better about having the advocate that they have or about the outcome. We create positive outcomes to difficult situations, right? And so I'm not selling I mean thinking with my marketing brain again. I I like to think I'm fairly proficient at trials, right?

[00:00:57]But I'm not selling clients my trial.

[00:00:59]They don't care if they're avoiding prison whether they avoided it because I went to trial or because I negotiated an outcome that avoided prison, right? They they care about can you deliver me to the place that I need to be delivered to, returning to my family, not going to prison, avoiding a felony conviction.

[00:01:15]And this is from simple drunk driving cases to the most complex cases.
