A couple of firsts

that happened much sooner than I thought.

1. I won a motions hearing! I got all animated during my argument, too…great fun.

(of course, I must give a shout out to the cop for placing my client under arrest immediately upon contact – placing cuffs on him with his left hand while holding a k-9  with the right AND admitting no Miranda warnings were given at any time….THANK YOU!)

2. A client called to ask me about his case.  He has another pending case in another court room.  I asked if he had an attorney on that case. He replied, “No, just a public defender.”

Wow – they really don’t think we went to law school, do they?

  2. LoL…nope they sure don’t! However, they will listen intently to what the “jail-house” lawyer has to say…sad isn’t it? Good job on your motion! Congrats!
