True believer criminal defense lawyer J. Tony Serra has been defending for over sixty years. He sees the criminal justice system as a broken system, without letting him shy away from fighting in court whatsoever. https://pier5law.com/attorneys/j-tony-serra/

Early in his career, Fairfax, Virginia criminal defense / DUI lawyer Jon Katz became aware of Tony and his being a true believer. Tony's single-minded and highly capable devotion to pursuing great outcomes for his clients with his self-imposed vow of poverty is enough to take notice of him, and to recognize that one does not need to be a member of the traditional legal establishment to obtain great results in court. 

Tony is not interested in negotiating settlements in his criminal defense work. He wants to go to trial and thoroughly prepares for trial. He has experience as a criminal defendant through civil disobedience, having been incarcerated for a few brief periods of time from his being a tax protestor. This episode includes how Tony has made the most of his experiences as an inmate -- when he helps other inmates with their legal matters -- and also Tony's suggestions for sentenced people to prepare to be incarcerated. 

Tony strongly opposes the system of snitching / cooperating by an inmate / criminal defendant / suspect against another person. He believes in criminal defense lawyers banding together. At the core, he believes in being fully alive. It is this very aliveness that helps Tony connect with and persuade jurors.
