The conversation delves into the intricacies of the prosecution process. She contrasts the misdemeanor unit's handoffs between lawyers at different stages of a case with the importance of a single attorney handling each case from start to finish when prosecuting sensitive cases. Heather reflects on the importance of building trust with victims, how critical a team of lawyers and non-lawyers are to a functioning office, and the emotional impact of her work. She is a 2017 graduate of the University of Pacific McGeorge School of Law.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/artwork.captivate.fm\/65031bdb-3211-42cf-ac6c-d4a5e987a2b8\/dsKvzS9hntCUwWkO4hJ_0GiE.jpg"}
