Hypothetically, my daughter is a defense attorney. My son is dating a woman who, while driving under the influence, kills my cousin’s 16-year-old daughter and her 2-year-old child. My son asks his sister to defend his girlfriend—would that be legally allowed? For context, my cousin’s father is my mother’s brother.

    Hypothetically, your daughter is a defense attorney, so she is able to answer that question.

      My best friend is a public defender and he ranted to me recently about how his family still won’t ask him legal advice because he’s still the baby of the family.

      Being charitable… maybe the daughter has already weighed in on this and the parent is looking to cross check their answer?

      I was going to comment “IF ONLY YOU HAD A LAWYER TO ASK” but you’re much nicer
