When I talk to some of my mentors, and some of the attorneys have been doing this much longer than me back when they started there was 25, 50 criminal defense lawyers.

I still think there will always be referrals, of course, but I think that the younger generations coming up are going to find their lawyers in different ways. And if attorneys don’t start adapting to that, it’s going to be a problem.
