"My name is Clifford. Last year I was arrested for attempted murder. I wasn't trying to kill the guy, we just had a fight. But I beat him up pretty bad. I couldnt afford a real lawyer, so I had to go to legal aid. But I found out I didn't have to worry about my lawyer& he had 25 years of experience, specialized in criminal law and had handled many cases like mine& even worse. I thought I was innocent then, and I needed to know this lawyer would work as hard for me as a regular lawyer would. Well, he did&but that didn't mean he said everything I wanted him to. I wasn't very realistic then about what I could or should get. I was mostly mad, and ashamed at what my community was going to think. My lawyer told me straight what my options were, and helped me plan for my family. I did time, but not as much as I might have. My family deserves better, and when I get out, that's what they're going to get. My legal aid lawyer helped me understand that. That's my story&"
