To answer your question my primary practice now is family law focused on domestic violence protection and child advocacy in dependency court, I represent kids in actions seeking to severe their parents' parental rights or foster kids that need access to social services. |
And still, you admire those who can stomach criminal defense...I can't imagine the cases you come across with respect to child advocacy and domestic violence. I would probably lose a lot of sleep and it would definitely end up affecting my personal life. I wish I had your strength. Thank you for what you do.
