Favorite Quotes of
Mimi's
Passion- "There
are many things in life that will catch your eye, but only a few will
catch your heart... pursue those."
DWI defense
is my passion from zealous representation of my clients to
lobbying efforts for fairer DWI laws. I am truly blessed
in that I get to dedicate
my life and practice to something I truly love and
believe in.
-Mimi
"Just
Do It."
-Nike commercial
"They that can give
up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve
neither liberty nor safety."
-Benjamin Franklin, 1759.
This is one
of my favorite quotes because it is so true of what many jurors feel
in a DWI case. They hear the prosecutor argue the safety
of our streets as if
this should be the justification for convicting a person
opposed to the
particular facts in a case. Yet many people are
persuaded that they must
make a verdict a public policy statement as opposed
to a decision based on
facts and the law. These people lose sight of the
concept of 'not guilty' until it
is too late, until it is them.
-Mimi
"Injustice
anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
"It is better that
ten guilty escape than one innocent suffer."
-William Blackstone
"We must remember
that a right lost to one is lost to all."
-William Reece Smith, Jr.
"Experience should
teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the
government purposes are beneficial. The greatest dangers to liberty
work in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well meaning but
without understanding."
-Louis D. Brandeis
"It’s not the
size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the
dog."
-Mark Twain
"The only thing
necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
-Edmund Burke
