Got a dismissal on one of the most hilarious cases I've ever had. Client was double parked in a banged up vehicle looking at a rainbow with prayer blasting from his sound system. Cops think he's wasted bc it's a little odd, and they try to pull him out.

My client was asked if he had anything to say before being sentenced and he goes "I got a lot of things, but I'm just gonna say jail don't help nobody" and I almost started applauding like a proud dad in the courtroom before immediately becoming sad again.

Client is always super respectful, comes dressed to court in a suit with his father. Super happy for him. I also vividly remember the rainbow that he was looking at and used that in my initial bail app to show he wasn't absolutely crazy bc the facts on paper definitely were lol

MOHELA finally replied back to me with an updated payment count of 121 so these loans are about to be forgiven via PSLF working as a public defender for over 10 years now. Not celebrating until I see a balance of $0, but I'm still excited as hell.

I understand as an attorney you're supposed to be composed and keep your head up and keep fighting and I'm trying but I just broke down in the courtroom crying. I got a guilty verdict yesterday and now I'm trying so hard to keep this client out of jail and I'm a fucking mess.

Judge granted my motion to dismiss on a case I've had for about 2yrs - called my client and told him & he just started screaming alone to himself "YES. YES. YES FUCKING YES YES I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT YESSSSSS" for like 30 seconds & it might be the best reaction I've ever received

He finally finds himself weaving in and out of a swing set for like 5 min where the parents and people are just laughing at this clown chase by the cops. Client didn't have alcohol in his system per breath test but they still charged him with a DWI among other things.

Client hits the gas - maybe unintentionally and hits the cop car in front and then clips two other vehicles. He then gets out and runs into a park. There's no less than 40 officers on scene, an NYPD helicopter, and he is just evading the cops every which way not even running fast

Cuomo may appear as a savior in the face of COVID, but he used a public health crisis to slam through a bill in the early hours of the morning that disproportionately jeopardizes black/brown lives and bends to the fear mongering of the NY Post, NYPD, & prosecutors. Ashamed.

So as the judge was coming off the bench and I was walking by he said to me" You won that." three times in a row. And then said "If you ever look back and need to know where you made a difference in someone's life, look to that moment."

This judge gave me only 2 weeks to navigate over 1,000 pages of discovery and write a motion, so instead of citing to specific pages within that discovery, it's cool for me to just attach the whole 1,000 pages and just say "See attached" right?

So much of the commentary about Judge Chutkan is that she was a public defender, and is therefore very concerned about the rights of defendants and due process. Uh, shouldn’t we expect that of ALL judges??
