"We think we want Law, Order and Punishment when what we really desire is Truth, Justice and Mercy."

Closing Argument, People v. Nicolas,  2008

"If the Legislature doesn't want to do the right thing to protect the people of the State of California, you had better believe I'll do my job to protect my client."

Orange County Register, 2000

"The Police may write the report, the District Attorney may decide the charges, and the Judge may make every ruling against your client but there is no reason why you cannot be more prepared for trial than all three of them, combined.    None."
