<![CDATA[I don't pretend to be a great lawyer.]]>I don't pretend to be a great lawyer. I'll never have a billboard on the side of the highway and I'll never be a household name.

But I've been representing protesters facing charges since 2018 and in that time I've had one conviction and zero time spent incarcerated. And I'm proud of that, I admit.

You sound like a pretty great lawyer to me., in fact, a really great lawyer πŸ‘

Neither the billboards or being a household name mean anything of any weight to me. ✌🏻

Lawyers are an utterly necessary component of any viable justice system. You are there.

I've said for years that I don't judge lawyers by the clients they represent, but I'll judge them all day long by the cases they brag about. And you are bragging about the right ones. ❀

If you can't be proud of successfully defending the powerless against the powerful, what would be worthy of pride?

Representing protesters pro bono was one of the most rewarding things when I was actively practicing.
