” As an Assistant Public Defender / Felony Trial Attorney , my influence goes beyond mere protecting rights to life changing events – whether found guilty or not guilty – life is changed . My clients encountered many ups and downs in life , my appointments become therapy sessions . We become a priest and a social worker . Mother ’ s call my office concerned with their grown child ’ s future . Children are prosecuted as adults and thus we have to juggle the juvenile as well as the adult sanctions … Our insight and expertise extends beyond the court room as well ,” Regina explains .
“ You will shed blood , sweat and tears ”, said her Tae Kwon Do instructor when she joined Little Dragon ’ s Tae Kwon Do Center at twelve years of age . She studied for four and half years but wanted to quit . Her father the late Rev . Willie James “ Odom ” Nunnally wanted her to earn her Black Belt . He told her to return all of her tournament trophies , medals , certificates of achievement and her belts . Regina didn ’ t understand why so she asked him . He said to her , “ Because I don ’ t want anything to remind you of the fact you quit .” From that day on , Regina endeavored to finish what she started .
