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.

"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.

"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
