I have worked as a public defender since law school.  I have represented indigent accused persons facing misdemeanors and felonies.  I have represented juveniles.  I have represented persons facing civil commitmen for mental illness.. Since 2009 I have soleley represented those facing civil commitment as sexually violent predators.. I truly believe that representing this most hated group places me directly in the prime position to protect our constitutional rights, because it is so easy to excuse taking rights away from this group.  If this happens, I believe the rest of us are next.  This erosion of liberty starts here, and I am devoted to stopping it at its source.
