Criminal Trial Lawyer… Memoirs of Managing Chaos and embracing it.
The book, sometimes humorously, describes my memoirs and adventures as a successful criminal trial lawyer both as Prosecutor and Defense Counsel. It begins as a child and explains the influences which made me a criminal trial lawyer driven by my desire to serve The Lady of Justice, Justicia. I fell in love with her and lived a Samurai of Justice love story.

Beginning with a Trial Lawyers philosophy, I describe the entire chaotic thinking and acting process from meeting the client and trial preparation, through actual trials and more. I didn’t care who I prosecuted or defended as long as I was in the game, Court that is. It was a life of decision making under extreme pressure where existential results follow from second to second in Court.

I cover defending the guilty in major felony criminal trials. I generally got convictions as a Prosecutor and not guilty verdicts as a Defense lawyer. An exciting life until I “retired” at 28 years old having tried murder, rape, child molesting, white collar crime, etc. I felt I did it all and had nothing more to offer Justicia; perhaps even burned out as I fell a victim to myself: i.e., as defense lawyers we are never to identify with our client, represent yes, but as told in law school: “remember, when you lose a case, your client goes to jail, not you.” I forgot that in my final case defending an innocent person of child molesting. Though I won the case, it bothered me if I lost.

In short, I put the reader into living and thinking the life of a Criminal Trial Lawyer

The Saga of a Trial Lawyer
I have a case…
I am on the case…
I won the case…
I lost the case…
Case closed.
Next Case!

This is the backdrop to the end of my spiritual journey in the universe of criminal law.
From this I went on to an even more chaotic life first as a ship agent (“Twisted Anchors … Drowning in Paradise”) and as an international film producer described in “Above the Camera …A Film Tale”
