Heres the lawyers backround:::

Because of her extensive trial and litigation experience, and her successes in high profile and difficult cases, criminal defense attorney Kathleen Mullin frequently appears as an expert legal analyst on various media outlets nationwide, such as CNN, Court TV and Fox News. She can be seen often providing commentary and analysis on national programs such as Court TV's Courtside with Banfield and Ford and Catherine Crier Live, as well as Fox News Live, Studio B with Shepard Smith, The Big Story with John Gibson, and she even goes toe to toe with Bill O'Reilly on The O'Reilly Factor. Kathleen can also been seen on CNN Headline News with Nancy Grace and CNN International News.

Ms. Mullin has handled thousands of criminal cases. With fifteen years of experience as a public defender and trial attorney in Brooklyn and Manhattan, she investigates, defends, and knows how to win. With the assistance of a private investigator, Attorney Mullin thoroughly scru

Well guys say what you want, but as you should all know by now, its not what she did but what they can prove she did. We all know she broke the law (as many have already stated) but the burden of proof and intent lie with the DA's office. Not a job I would want in this case....As for her attorney, this high powered NYC lawyer (Mullin) has worked on huge cases in the past (google her). She was just on Nancy Grace last night..Very well known in legal circles....If anyone can pull it off Mullin can, that is if Quets sticks with her.

If she spent all her life savings on appealing the adoptions-as previous articles have stated-where is she getting the money for this expensive lawyer? Is the lawyer doing it pro-bono? I agree with others, whether she deserves the kids or not, she broke the law and a crime is a crime.

lawstudent, are you sexist? I ask because you assumed I'm a man and I'm not. Further whether or not the adoption was handled properly in the Florida courts does not excuse Quets from kidnapping them and not only crossing state lines, but crossing international borders. THAT is why she is in jail now and THAT is why she shouldn't have the kids that SHE gave up. I stand corrected on the appeal, so why didn't she wait for the appeal? I don't think she wanted to wait until March for her appeal, and now with the kidnapping charge she likely will be convicted on do you really think a judge is going to take the kids from the Needhams and give them to her? She blew her chance to have those kids more than once. It sucks that she is in the boat she is in and we can all feel sorry for her, but she built the boat.

Rumors, lies and innuendos...........the courts will sort it out. And Quets will have her deep-pocketed lawyer there who will try to keep her out of jail.
