Wow, what gigantic generalizations. I like reading this site because I respect the rigor of the analysis and the (at least comparative) even-handedness. But this, frankly, is worthy of Bill O'Reilly in its baseless, blustering, sweeping condemnation of an entire group. I've made the change from fed to defense lawyer just fine, thanks. Most of the most prominent and respected white-collar defense attorneys in LA are ex-feds. So are a number who do distinctly non-white-collar defense (like me, now -- I do both). Many were "career" prosecutors -- that is, they worked for ten or fifteen years in the government and rose to significant supervisorial positions. They have different styles, but many are known as pitbulls. I'm not familiar with any with problems empathizing with clients in general (though who hasn't had a client or two who defies empathy). Really, this is a disappointing post.
