Have you ever gotten a call and it turned out it was from someone you knew personally?

Hey there, I work in a law office that handles a lot of public defense work on top of other criminal defense work. As an attorney how often did you speak to your appointed clients outside of court? Because the attorneys I work for hardly ever do so, and are very poor communicators and sometimes flat out ignore clients. It gets very discouraging because there are people who are legitimately trying to better their situation, but still need an attorney's assistance. As a paralegal I really cannot (ethically, legally) advise them, and sometimes I feel as if their concerns are not being addressed.

My local news stations did a bit about how certain large city events can be an attraction or seen as profitable for sex traffickers, so I am guessing this is similar for around the U.S. Is this for the most part true? What do you guys do to counter-act them when there are events like say, the upcoming Super Bowl come around?

Also, do you know or suggest any charities or projects that help victims which are reputable and I could support or donate to?
