It took me 17 years to become a lawyer and it was hard. I have no desire to leave the legal field. I hope I don't leave the field, but I'm open to what life offers. Most people don't want to go to trial if they can get a good deal. If you plead, you have the defendant and the state knowing the outcome.
Trial is a risk.
We can't take everything to trial because the system would be overloaded. We negotiate and everyone gets their voices heard. What happens in the rest of the country I hope happens the way it does in Boston. I haven't practiced elsewhere, but I think we have a good system. Well, thanks so much for joining us, Lisa.
