This week I am sharing five rules I follow when I'm advocating for my clients. These rules apply whether arguing or writing. They are applicable to everyone who works as an advocate in any capacity.

This week I talk about restraining orders. How to get one if you need it, and how to fight it if you don't. They're a good tool but they can be abused, and people have gone to jail for violating them.

I finish my conversation with Seattle Police Officer Eric Michl. We talk about how to interact with police during stops, staying silent, the joy of defense attorneys, cops not being served at restaurants, and lots more!

Seattle Police Officer Eric Michl joins me in a conversation about policing, use of force, street crime, police culture, and more! We talked for so long it's broken into two parts!

Attorney David Greenspan comes by to discuss his work as prosecutor, coroner, and sometimes-judge.

A discussion about salvaging a case and trying to get to the best result possible even after a guilty finding. Sentencing is a very important part of the criminal defense practice.

My buddy and criminal defense attorney Denice Ganger comes by to chat about her work as a former prosecutor, visiting jails, and somehow we end on saving souls.

The day of trial has come and gone! What happened? What was this case about anyway??

This used to be about preparing for a trial. And now...?
