I frequently check the news to see if the clients of my office are mentioned. Some of my colleagues have the high-profile cases, and I find it interesting to see what the media has to say. I wondered how long I'd be with the office before I had a case that got media coverage.

Apparently not long.

Unfortunately the newspaper got several facts wrong, but I've really come to expect that from this paper. On the bright side, it didn't mention my name, because I'd hate for my future clients to associate me with letting my client get 4 years of "prison" on "one count" of a misdemeanor. Ugh. Not really worth a letter to the editor, though, despite how RONG they were. And if they're allowed to read newspapers in jail, then my poor client is probably freaking out wondering when they're going to come away to take him to "prison" when I told him he would not be going to TDC. Looks like a client visit is in my immediate future.


Despite all that, I'm totally cutting out the article for my Baby Lawyer's First Year scrapbook. Maybe if I get into better shape, the next reporter will feel inclined to mention the "attractive" and "highly intelligent" defense attorney. Yes.
