“I worked in Arapahoe County, public county and here in El Paso County but I made the decision to come and be a defense attorney for a number of reasons one of which was as a district attorney I saw so many people who I couldn't help the way that I wanted to help them what I mean is that I think oftentimes the district attorneys while they're very good attorneys and they're trained to do their jobs they're also trained to see people who come in as criminal defendants and what I really like about my job is that my job is to get to know you as a person and as a human being and then convey that person that I know to the justice system to the judge to the district attorney and let them know hey this is just a normal person who had a bad day this is just someone who screwed up one time but it doesn't mean that they are a screw-up”
“a lot of what I do is I make people more approachable for the criminal justice system when you're a district attorney you have a lot of cases you have very little time to work on things but as a defense attorney I actually am able to sit down talk with you I answer your call whenever it comes in I work with you and a lot of my clients and I are friends long after I represent them”
“I think one thing that sets me apart from other defense attorneys here in town is that I do have that background as a district attorney specifically I have a background here in El Paso County and just like I view my clients as people I view the district attorney as people too everyone just needs to get to the point where you can connect on a human level”
“what I like to do is I like to take the fear out of things I like to take the fear out of what the DA is trying to put my clients through I like to take the fear out of what my clients are going through and just lay it out for them my job is really to act as a mediator between the criminal justice system and you it's to help you get through your case”
“if you're watching this video I assume you're either curious as to what we do and why we're popping up on your internet search or you actually are looking for someone and you need help while it's never a good thing to be in a position where you do need help that's what we are here for our job is to get to know you to connect with you and get you through this time”

“we're real people just like you we've all been in a similar situation I have done more stupid things than I care to admit”
“while our job is to help you through this time and to be your attorney and to represent you we're also here to just be your friend and help you through it”
