Spring 2023

I am passionate about becoming a public defender. I have my entire future planned. After a few years in the public sector, I plan to open my own criminal defense practice. Money earned from those cases can then be put towards pro bono wrongful conviction cases. I want to help people the system threw away, the way someone helped me. I want to be good at my job and I want to make people understand it is never too late. You are never too far gone to correct course.
