the tao of criminal-defense trial lawyering

Writing Sample

Here (JDSupra) is a sentencing memorandum that I wrote for a man convicted of a federal crack cocaine conspiracy (this case). He had suffered a horrible childhood, and then lived a law-abiding life for about 25 years before

It did the trick, and it has received good reviews from those who have read it; I hope you enjoy it too.

    Great advocacy, the better for having the guts to lay it on the line and remind the judge that he has a conscience.

  6. Thanks. I’ll use it for a case I’m working on, where I need all the help I can get. Congrats on the win too. Great minds might think alike, as you once said, but you write well, consistently and helpfully on your blog and your win is deserved.
