Crying Clients

I just had a client in my office who keeps losing his job because of his open case. I feel pretty sorry for the guy. He was charged with "Theft by Deception" back in 2005 and his case is still open... four years later. He is trying to do the right thing by working to pay back the $5,000 he owes on the theft case. If he pays it back, the prosecutor was nice enough to agree to dismiss the case.

He gets fired for having an open case which will be dismissed if he can stay employed long enough to close that same case.... ouch.
