"I've been at this law gig for over a decade now, right here in the heart of New Orleans. It's not just about suits and courtrooms; it's about understanding people, the local vibe. Some days are tough, man, dealing with cases that seem unwinnable, facing ethical dilemmas, or just the sheer mental load of the job. But then, there are moments of triumph, and they remind you why you keep fighting the good fight. My daily routine? It’s a bit all over the place, depending on court schedules and client meetings. I try to stick to a somewhat healthy diet, but come on, this is New Orleans. You've got po'boys, gumbo, and beignets calling your name after a long day. And I’m a sucker for our local crawfish boils which I swear are a form of therapy. Social life? It’s mostly catching up with colleagues or a quick drink at a local dive. I was chatting just last week with a friend who's also a public defender, and we were swapping war stories from the courthouse. Keeps things in perspective, you know? On better days, I hit the gym or jog by the river, trying to keep the stress levels down. Not easy in this line of work, but you manage. My favorite local dish? Has to be jambalaya. It’s got history, it’s got spice, it speaks New Orleans, and it’s comfort food that fills you up after a day of legal battles. Every bite sort of reminds me why I love what I do and where I do it—it’s home, it’s challenging, it's fulfilling, all at once."
