During his years of service as a reserve officer in the New Orleans Police Department, attorney David Oestreicher encountered many scenarios. He says his service in the NOPD actually helped him to become a better lawyer — one more attuned to myriad perspectives presented in any given case, rather than as someone who might view things simply in black and white.
