I’m currently in civil litigation but I’ve always loved the criminal defense law world. Does it make sense to go to a PD office to get trial experience to get my foot back in the criminal door?

If criminal defense is your goal then absolutely. You will get a ton of trial experience at a state pd and will learn the habits of the judges and prosecutors in your area. Just be ready for a high caseload and low pay.

I’m a new associate working for a well-known defense attorney in my state.

I am here to learn and advance my career but he can be pretty nasty.
