Defense lawyer Paul Redrup understands that [interactive business cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moo-paper-cards) are the best way to captivate clients. By placing his business card within a [case made to resemble](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unsnatchable-phone-case) the [bars of a jail cell](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wayne-county-criminal-justice-center), Paul Redrup creates instant association with freedom and release.

If I ever get thrown in the slammer, I know who I'm going to call. Defense lawyer Paul Redrup is sure to get some repeat clients with this business card -- let's just hope they're all worthy of the pardon.
