About Attorney Christian Kim I went to law school knowing that I wanted to be a prosecutor. I loved being in court and I wanted to do justice and help people. All through law school, my internships and work experience focused completely on criminal law. I worked for the Los Angeles County DAs Office all three years of law school. So when I was hired as a deputy district attorney for Orange County, I was ecstatic. Initially, I enjoyed my work and felt fulfilled. But as more time passed, I started seeing that in many instances, justice was not being served. Heavy caseloads made it impossible for each case to be treated with the attention that it deserved. People were being charged with crimes that could potentially affect their lives significantly and permanently, yet many prosecutors in the office treated these defendants just as files and statistics, not as people with unique backgrounds and life histories. There were many instances of overcharging just so that it could be used as leverage during plea negotiations. Whether it was because of the heavy caseload or just sheer callousness, many prosecutors were not considering the impact these cases were having on the people that have to live with the consequences of the decisions being made on these cases. Ultimately, I realized that I could better serve justice and help people as a defense attorney advocating for my clients rather than working for the government. I still love going to court. But now, as a defense attorney, I get to help individuals. I get to meet their families, find out about their background, and why they are in the situation they are in. I get to confirm that most people are good and some just have made mistakes along the way or have been put into very difficult situations. I get to represent them and tell their story so that they are seen as people and not just a name in a file. Education J.
