PRACTICE AREAS

Wrongful Convictions
Our firm is dedicated to overturning wrongful convictions and freeing the innocent. Our unique approach combines our expertise in investigation and lawyering. We meticulously review records, uncover new evidence and witnesses, and leverage advances in science and the law to challenge wrongful convictions, including those involving official misconduct, ineffective assistance of counsel, eyewitness misidentification, false confessions, and the misuse or misapplication of forensic science. We ensure that every possible avenue is exhausted in the fight to exonerate our clients and seek relief in the most efficient way possible. Our commitment extends beyond individual legal victories; we also advocate for meaningful systemic reform to prevent future miscarriages of justice.
-
Civil Rights
We stand at the forefront of the fight to protect and advance civil rights. Our firm represents individuals whose constitutional rights have been violated by government actors, with a focus on wrongful conviction cases involving official misconduct. Through strategic litigation under federal and state law, we aim to hold wrongdoers accountable and promote systemic change. We understand that these cases are deeply personal and that every client has different priorities—whether seeking an immediate settlement or pursuing litigation to trial. Our approach is always client-centered, and we work tirelessly to achieve the best outcome, securing the maximum possible compensation. To date, we have recovered over $30 million for our clients, including substantial pre-litigation settlements.
