I have occasionally had clients become irate after seeing me laugh with an Assistant District Attorney. People seem to think that because we are on the opposite side of the criminal law system, it is a betrayal of loyalty to befriend a DA. To the contrary, my relationships with the DAs office benefit my clients, and make me a better lawyer. Debating legal issues, sharing a beer, laughing together...all of that helps me when I'm working on a case.
