“I only wish Defense Maps had been available for the entire 27 years I’ve practiced.”
“As well as direct help to attorneys, Defense Maps give clients a unique chance to reflect deeply on their past, present, and future—and steps they can take to help their lives and cases.”
“With the dismissals, acquittals, and massively improved agreements and sentences we’re getting with Defense Maps, it’s hard to imagine a part of defense work they wouldn’t help.”
“The organization of the Defense Maps is truly ingenious. They take a mountain of information and make it instantly useable and powerful.”
“Even the client reactions are astounding: Almost without exception, the first thing they want to do is say how thankful they are for our having them do this work, and most start zealously addressing issues their Maps have disclosed in their lives.”
“Every Map we get is a reminder of how much can be missed in interviews, let alone in the hurried ones often forced on us by our caseloads.”
“I hope we’ll all try this free tool, make it standard with all clients on release, and then start demanding that jails and prisons make it available.”
“Clients can now reflect in private and share many times what they previously could. And on topics of critical usefulness to their defense.”
“Clients simply provide much more detailed information in their Defense Maps than in either the pdf packet our office used to use or any in-person interviews.”
“With all the discovery advances showered on police and prosecutors in the three decades of my practice, I believe we can’t afford to ignore the amazing advantages of these Defense Maps.”
“There’s no question these Maps significantly improve results both in plea agreements and in mitigating their sentences.”
“Besides the considerably expanded information, another surprising benefit for me has been the way it constructively involves clients in better attorney-client relationships.”
“I'm amazed at how much is revealed about clients' lives and defenses.”
“We could speculate for years on why clients reveal so much more with these Maps than in interviews alone. But the simple truth is, they unquestionably do.”
"These Maps are simply incredible. They so radically expand the chance to know and personalize clients, our office gets them whenever possible."
