Civil and criminal litigation, over 43 years.
2+ misspent years working for civil firms; year as a Committee Consultant for the State Assembly, California Legislature; 15+ years working for the Sacramento County Public Defender, self-employed the rest of the time.
Mostly criminal defense, trials and appeals ... 68 criminal jury trials, hundreds of criminal appeals. California and Federal (US District Courts, 9th Circuit, USSC).
I do criminal appeals and writs only these days; California only, no Federal cases.
Happily divorced (after 8 years of marriage) since 2016 ... freedom and sanity are WONDERFUL.
