For the past 20 years, Paul McGlone has only represented defendants. Mr. McGlone is proud of the fact that he is NOT a former prosecutor. There are dozens of former prosecutors out in private practice. They all have years of experience working with police officers and they often have the best luck in making a deal for folks who want to become confidential informants for the state in exchange for a favorable result in a criminal case. However, all of those former prosecutors also spent years automatically believing everything that came in from their police officers. A good defense attorney will automatically question every piece of evidence offered by the police, especially if their client gives a different version of the facts.
