A little more about me.... Criminal law is my passion. It was my passion long before law school. I obviously picked the right career, right? Even when I am not working, I still find myself watching true crime shows or reading true crime stories. My favorite show of all time is "Forensic Files," and I have watched all 14 seasons... twice. I also love "Death Row Stories."
