When I first became a Public Defender in Santa Cruz County I was lucky enough to be assigned to the same courtroom as Bill, "Guillermo", Makler. I had been placed by his side for him to train me. An Attorney's character is built early in his career, and is heavily influenced by the senior attorneys around you. I had the fire but lacked the knowledge. It was a this time that Guillermo took me under his wings and not only taught me how to turn my fire into a blaze, but also taught me how to control it! Today, I owe much of my character as an attorney to Bill - He is not only a brilliant mind but also General in our field. If I ever got into trouble he would be the man I would call......
