re: Question for judges and attorneys...Where does your morality (if any) come into play ?

The biggest difference is whether you can afford your own counsel. That matters more than people will admit.

This is absolutely true.

At the end of the day, Public defenders work for the government. Nothing bad happens to them if they frick up your case.

Nothing inspires me as a lawyer more than than the fact that a client trusts me enough to hand over the worst problem they’ve ever had. It just triggers a level of mama bear in me like nothing else will. Whether my client is at fault or not- my sole responsibility is to make sure they don’t get railroaded. I will not stand for that.

It’s corny to say, but I’m proud of what I do. We’ve all got a forgiven rig but to get a fair shake when the government is involved. There’s nothing that pisses me off more than seeing the wheels of justice crush someone.
