"Being a good lawyer is not just about winning and it's not just about caring for people it's both. I personally believe that it's no fun being a lawyer unless you can genuinely help people, and allow them to get on with their lives. The question I am most often asked as a South Florida criminal defense attorney is: 'How can you defend someone when you know they are guilty?' For me, the answer is easy. I believe in condemning the act, not the person (John 8:11). This principle is consistent with my Faith. In Matt. 9:12, Jesus essentially answers the same question this way: 'It's not the healthy who need a physician, but the sick. I desire mercy, not sacrifice ' I unapologetically enjoy helping someone who is otherwise shunned and condemned by others, and society."
