from Your Lot and Parcel · host Benjamin Diaz/James M Porfido, Author, and Certified Criminal Trial Attorney by The Supreme Court of New Jersey

The author reflects upon 35 years of being a criminal attorney both for prosecution and for the defense in high-level cases. It looks at the practice of law from being a former prosecutor to the running of a successful defense practice. It is focused on the representation on behalf of the prosecution for the state and as a defense counsel representing the accused. He reflects upon the criminal justice system, and the balance of scales on both sides of the counsel table in the courtroom. Specifically, it reveals the unfair tipping of scales in favor of the prosecution and against the accused, using real examples. He discusses the significant constitutional rights associated with the process of prosecution and defense. The book is a reflection on the specific cases in his career and the changes that resonated over that 35-year period.Suppose you face criminal charges of a misdemeanor or a felony, an indictable criminal offense, or a disorderly person’s offense; your world can turn upside down.Facing any criminal charge can be highly challenging for you, whether you know you have broken the law or are dealing with wrongful accusations.Your job, your family life, and your freedom may be at risk.In any circumstances in which criminal prosecution and potential loss of your rights are on the line, it is crucial to have dedicated legal counsel on your side to defend your rights and provide due process.He is the author of Unequal Justice: The Search for Truth to Balance the Scales.https://www.amazon.com/Unequal-Justice-Search-Balance-Scales/dp/B0DHWT1N8Dhttp://www.yourlotandparcel.orgSupport the show
