Above and beyond
I've had lots of experience with public defenders in the last decade, and I'm sure many of you have experienced the typical playbook: Get the client to plead as soon as possible.
That's been the MO for the majority of public defenders I've ever dealt
with. However, Mr. Caltrider continued to fight on my behalf long after I had even suggested that I would plea--suggesting that he could get me a better deal.
I put my case in his hands--and after almost a year-long saga thanks to COVID, I finally arrived at the end.
And Mr. Caltrider was able to get my charges dropped entirely.
Entirely, entirely, I mean.
I can't say enough good things about attorneys that actually look at their clients like people--and especially the ones that don't kneecap their clients just to get a public defense case over with.
Thank you, Mr. Caltrider!
