My best friend and I were bad kids. We got into trouble all the time. We had a teacher that was really tough on us. He had us in class three years in a row. He always told us we wouldn’t amount to much. We were just rebellious teens. After high school, we straightened up. We went to college. Then, we went to law school. We saw our old teacher when we went home for our high school reunion. He asked if we were out of prison on parole or if they let us out just long enough to attend the reunion. He never thought we would become Los Angeles California based federal criminal defense attorneys. He thought we would need them.
