I think you are dead on on this one. Everyday I am disgusted more and more at how afraid or lazy attorney are in trying a case. My local criminal defense bar has become a machine for processing people for the State. I could understand it if everyone was having their cases reduced to misdemeanors or if the State had come out with some new state of the art surveillance system that had everyone on HD from the moment they left their house to the moment of the alleged crime, but instead by not going to trial we are supporting sloppy police work and constitutional violations!!! We are to blame when we complain that that our client's are not getting a fair shake and when we feel that our rights are being violated!!! They only take from us what we give them. Molôn Labé!!! Mark,

It looks great. One question - if Greenfield is much much older than you, does that mean the photo on his blog is of his graduating law school class, or just of one of his first clients? Just kidding, Scott. Mark,

But sometimes, I find that clients almost insist we choose for them, which I adamantly refuse to do. However, I find myself just reviewing once again the pros and cons of the decision, trying to answer questions that they have and may not ask... but ultimately, leaving the decision up to the client.
