Public Defense

A time for change

By Gideon

Well folks. The time is upon us. I’ve been hinting at this for weeks now and today I can officially announce to all my readers (and some colleagues who happen to be reading as well) that I will no longer be public defending. I’ve taken a position with the general practice firm of Houlihan and Horowitz, where I will be dabbling in various fields, such as real estate, civil litigation, med mal and insurance defense.

I know, I know. Why this sudden change? Don’t you love your job, you might ask. I do. But frankly, I can’t afford to keep working as a public defender. The money was just too good to pass up, and in the end, I must be fed.

So thank you to all that have been with me for so long (and some not so long). I truly appreciate the support that you have given me and I value the exchanges we’ve had on the blog.

I don’t know if I will keep the blog going, but obviously the focus will change. I don’t know if I will be able to keep up with criminal law happenings - frankly, I don’t think I’ll have the time.

So long, then, and thanks for all the fish.
