The first time I saw this particular client, he had shaggy hair and a grown out beard, neither of which had seen a blade anytime in 2014. When he walked into our meeting at the jail this week, I didn't recognize him at first. He had transitioned from homeless man chic to hairless rat couture. When our meeting was finished I said to him, "You look funny," to which he smiled and responded, "I'm going to take that as a compliment. You look great as well." He made my whole day. Seriously.
I went back to the office and told my coworkers that I really liked this client. I said I believed his story 100% and that he was definitely innocent (they laughed at me).
Jail flattery will get you everywhere. Except out of jail.
