I believe my experiences with both of my clients, Mr. Corral and Mrs. Hernandez went well. There were some instances when it felt like both were not motivated and passionate about getting their record expunged. However, despite my clients’ feelings toward their expungement, I did my job with passion and commitment in providing them with the best services. I believe I could have put more efficiencies in my work. If I could have done this again and get the same clients, I would have been delighted to work with them once again.
The experiences for both of my clients were the same. However, there were some instances where one client was more cooperative than the other. When we had the interviews, Mrs. Hernandez, was more open about her convictions …show more content…
The detail reader and going over the presentations in class provided a well-clear instruction and illustration of what we need to do. Having a clear illustration helped me in knowing how a petition should look like, such as the format and how the sentences should be simple for the judge to read. In addition, having class time to work on client interviews or working in phrasing sentences was useful since I have problems with my sentences structure and having a clear and strong communication. Having a mock interview and a petition provided me an insight of what an actual interview will look like and how I would have to apply all the information given into the declaration. In regard to the workshops that were provided when I was in JS 140, the class helped me to experience how things will be when I meet with a client. Although the JS 141 class that I had, made it a little easy in the workshops. I think JS 141s should make it a little challenging so the 140s can practice and practice in different ways to communicate with their client and not expect the clients to open up easily. Moreover, it was helpful that one was still able in obtaining further help if they still did not understand a particular theme or needed extra practice. Even though it was not part of the training, one thing that I found helpful when I was in the 141 class, was knowing what the judge likes and expects in the declaration.

Filing the declaration for Mrs. Hernandez three months later, affected her in getting her record expunge sooner. As for Mr. Corral, we were able to file his petition in court on time, which did not affect him as much as it did to Mrs. Hernandez. But I do hope that we did a good job in both the cases and they get their record expunge soon. However, I am worried that because Mr. Corral did not want any support letters it might cause him in getting his convictions dismissed. Also, because he did not want to disclose much, making us provide the minimal information. I hope my work in preparing my clients’ cases do not affect the clients’ experience in
