Episode 98: Shal...Awesome- A Public Defender's Story

Crime Time: With Virginia Defense Attorneys

When two of the four hosts on a podcast have worked as public defenders and one of the four hosts does a lot of court appointed and pro bono work, you have to bring on as many public defenders as you can because we recognize how hard a job it is to be a public defender or even a court appointed attorney. In this episode, Shalev Ben-Avraham joins us in the hot seat as he shares his background with us and discusses various issues in the law. Shalev has been a Public Defender in Fairfax, Arlington, and now still works as a Public Defender in Prince William County.
LEGAL DISCLAIMER:
If you are listening to this podcast, thank you! We sincerely hope you are listening to this podcast for its entertainment value and not with the intention of acquiring legal advice for any individual case or situation. I mean, come on! You wouldn’t take advice from someone you have never met or spoken to directly, right? If you were bleeding profusely, you wouldn’t listen to a podcast in hopes of a bandage somehow materializing over the internet and onto your 3D printer. Seeking actual legal advice can be just as important as a tourniquet. The hosts of this podcast are in no way intending to create an attorney-client relationship with any listener. Sorry. We are sure you all are great people but we cannot stress enough how little we know of you and your case and rather than risk an awkward moment, let us just remember we have never met. Nothing on this platform be taken as legal advice for any individual case or situation! We are just a group of friends with differing opinions and viewpoints which we will try to explore through discussions of current events, law changes, and whatever else floats our fancy.
