She loves her job, and likes helping that rare “good person.” But if the defendant doesn’t want her help, there isn’t much you can do.
Her stories are funny. And, the sheer stupidity and reactionary emotions of her clients are a little unnerving.
I would have burned out years go.
I think she should switch gears and become a prosecutor.
She is being paid by the people. Her job is to defend each and every one of her clients the best way she knows how.
Belittling them can be saved for cocktail parties, and even then it wouldn’t be the best thing to do.
