M.M., things happen for a reason. And while I understand that it must have been extremely dissapointing for you to get injured at that point of your military career, look at how it directed your life. You met a woman that you care for and now you are on the road to becoming a criminal lawyer. Sometimes when something negative happens in our life, at that moment we cannot understand why. But that somthing that we view as a negative really winds up being a postive because it may send our lives down a different road, a road that leads to much bigger and better things that develop into a postive for us. I wish you all the luck. Don Cardi

MM, by sheer coincidence, some US newspapers today carried a story that the authorities in Amsterdam are shutting down about one third of the "windows" in which prostitutes sell themselves in the famous "Red Light District." They say that they aren't against prostitution per se (legal in Amsterdam); they say the whorehouses are used for money laundering, human trafficking and other crimes. The story quotes Fat Charlie Geerts, who owns 20 buildings in the Red Light District, protesting the decision.
I am also interesting in knowing if in the Netherlands, criminal lawyers are paid by fees from those they are representing, or by the courts or government?

Lawyers in the Netherlands are paid by fees from the persons they are representing. People who have little money don't have to pay, the government will pay then the lawyers. Thanks. It's the same here--criminals who have lots of money pay their lawyers to defend them. But very few criminals have any money--most are arrested for fairly minor crimes, or get caught in big crimes before they take away any money. They are represented by Public Defenders: lawyers (probably recent law school graduates) who are paid by the court system to represent indigent defendants. That's why, if you follow the US Mafia in the US media, you see the same criminal lawyers' names over and over again: Bruce Cutler, Barry Slotnick, Gerald Shargel, Ron Kuby, Albert Krieger. They charge huge fees, and Mafia guys are just about the only criminals who can afford them.

While public defenders tend to be younger than private counsel, I have found that they gain experience very fast. They also tend to bring enthusiasm. This is where I started my legal career, and have never regretted it. I was 28 when I tried my first death penalty case, but felt more than ready. I found that criminal defense lawyers require a great deal more creativity than prosecutors do. If you haven't firmly decided on where to begin your criminal law career, I would recommend that you consider the Dutch version of the public defender.
