I have been a federal criminal defense attorney for 27 years and had multiple cases with Libbey when she was an AUSA. As a prosecutor Libbey was a straight shooter, who was able to look at more than just what my client did in the past. She has a knack for doing the right thing, which allowed her in one particular case to focus on whether my client, who made a mistake, needed to be prosecuted to avoid future mistakes. Unlike most former federal prosecutors, Libbey has the kind of ‘balance’ that allows her to strategically ‘think like a criminal defense lawyer’ and represent the accused, while at the same thing having the mindset and ability to protect the interests of victims in a civil context.
