when clients turn things around
It’s always heartening to read stories of clients that we help turning things around. The latest one comes from another MA pd blogger (no, I didn’t stumble upon this blog today, I’ve had my eye on it for a bit, but never got around to mentioning it), MissTyrios.
But today, I saw a client in court who was there to set up her system for random drug screens with probation. She was there on schedule, doing everything she was supposed to do. And she looked amazing. It took me a few seconds to register who she was when she called out my name and waved in the hallway. Since I last saw her – when she plead her case out, facing two more months in jail and a long period of probation – she has put on some much-needed weight and lost a huge amount of that horrible premature aging that so ravages women addicted to heroin. Her hair was dyed, her makeup was done, her clothes were neat and clean. And she was just…healthy. I had grown really fond of her over the course of my representation.
Now that makes it worthwhile. The blog has been added to the list on the left, so if you want to find it again, you know where to look.
