“As a criminal defense attorney, you’re not just fighting over money, which you often do in other fields. You’re dealing with someone’s life and rights more directly. That appeals to me. I think about how best to represent people. I stand between my clients and the power of the government to ensure they are not cutting corners or impacting my client negatively.”

— Ruth Brown
