In fact, he was quite fantastic. I can't go into details of why we were dealing with him, but he asked us what we wanted to see happen and we told him what we thought. He supported our opinions and the judge ordered it. The prosecutor we dealt with was compassionate, knowledgeable, and had integrity.

In all honesty, he's the only prosecutor that we've ever met and we have nothing but good things to say about him. He helped us get through an awful thing.

I don't know if prosecutors like him are a rarity or not, but that is my experience.
