I went to school to become a paralegal and shortly after graduation I found an excellent job with a Miami criminal lawyer. I was rather nervous at first because this lawyer handled some pretty big cases but I settled quickly and started using my education in the job I had dreamed of having for a long time.
A criminal lawyer defends those who are accused of anything from white collar crime to high profile crimes. I’ve seen every type of person come through this office. I can say there is never a boring day at my job; there is always something going on that I get to assist with.
When I told my parents that I would be working with one of the top criminal attorneys in Miami they got a little scared that I might get caught in the crossfire of a client that is found guilty but I assured them it was a very safe and pleasant atmosphere to work in. I’ve been working in the same office for over five years and have never witnessed anything close to criminal behavior.
This job has helped me expand my horizons and I’ve even considered going back to college to get a law degree. I really enjoy helping the people that I get to help and thought it would be all the better if I were the criminal attorney that the clients come to see. It takes a lot of work and commitment to go to law school and it’s really something I need to consider carefully.
The pay is excellent for what I do but it’s even better for a Miami criminal attorney; they make a great deal of money defending those who can’t defend themselves. One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned since I started working here is that you should never judge anybody before you know the entire story.
