| My Favorite Client? |
Oh, for the days when I represented the "State of Arizona" as a criminal prosecutor.....I didn't have needy clients who called to "chat" with me and repeated the same things over and over...and over. I didn't have clients who thought that I had all the answers (yeah, don't know HOW they ever thought that!). I didn't have clients who called to leave lengthy messages on the weekend and then got upset when I didn't call them first thing in the morning. I didn't have clients who disappear on me and then leave me answering to the judge, "no, Your Honor, he/she didn't tell me that they were leaving the state / country (fill in the blank)"...even if they did tell me, I couldn't tell the judge anyway but judges don't like to be reminded that there is such a thing as attorney / client relationship and that I have to refuse to answer if it would violate that right. They think that the "black dress" entitles them to answers. I didn't have clients who didn't do anything that CPS told them to do and are honestly surprised that they aren't getting their kids back. Bleh!
However, as I remember, I did have victims that called me all the time and thought that I could and would send the S.O.B. to prison for life (when I had already explained that life in prison wasn't an option for a simple burglary and neither was the death penalty). I did have cops who called to gripe that I hadn't issued their case (when it was a crappy case that a defense attorney could win blindfolded). I did have witnesses disappear on me and leave me to explain to the judge why the "almighty State" couldn't find them...
S.O.S., different address...sigh
