I was licensed on May 5, 1995 and immediately started my practice. Today I celebrated my fifteenth anniversary by getting a client’s family-violence assault case dismissed.

I was going to write a “things I’ve learned in 15 years of criminal defense” post, but Miami criminal-defense lawyer Brian Tannebaum, whose fifteenth was last week, beat me to it.

    Congratulations!

    Don’t let Brian’s great “things I learned” post stop you. I learned a lot from his post and am sure I’d learn as much (or more) from yours!

    Congratulations, kid.

    Thanks for your great blog and great example of successful solo/small firm practice. All the best for another great 15 years, and many more after that.

    Mr. B., you’re the man.
    How about considering a ‘Then vs. Now’ and/or ‘ What I’d do different if I had to do it all over. Better yet, take the rest of the day off and go fishing you deserve it.
