Tragedy struck the day after Brian S. Quinn found out that he had passed the bar exam. At a trial on the next day, he watched his mentor fall on the courtroom floor and have a heart attack. Brian’s life would never be the same again.
Having just passed his exams, he took over the law firm in the next few days. Without the necessary training, he never felt good enough to represent his clients. Following decades of alcohol and drug addictions, multiple encounters with law enforcement and a prison sentence, Brian says he is a changed man.
