Recently worked with a young man who was on the wrong path in life. He had a great education, and had a good job, but he had a number of vices in his life that were holding back his potential. He had never been in trouble due to some poor choices, but he was on the path to losing it all because he wasn't properly focused on his future. His pattern of behavior eventually lead to a drunk driving offense, which could have cost him his life or the life of someone else on the road.
The client contacted me for help; at first he was angry at the consequences and the burden that these charges could put on his future. Over time, we reshaped that thought process and together, we agreed that this case was actually an opportunity for change. Without this case happening, he was likely to end up in a much worse situation, either dead or in prison for killing someone with his vehicle.
Over the course of the case, the client made tremendous strides in his life, and his a new person today. He is grateful for this intervention in his life, even if it meant going to court, being charged with a crime, and the financial cost involved. You can always earn more money, but you can't change serious injury, death or permanent damage to a reputation.
My client is in a great place now after working together, and I am extremely proud of him. Even the judge and probation officer told him the same; the client pretty much received a standing ovation from the judge, because of all the hard work he put in; I just felt bad for the next case after mine, because nobody can compare themselves to the success story of my client; he kicked ass, and he has a bright future ahead of him.
