Our Team

"Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are." — Benjamin Franklin.

Our staff work together to zealously defend each client with courageous, compassionate, client-focused representation. Our defense teams include more than just attorneys. Attorneys, investigators, social workers, advocates, paralegals, and support staff collaborate to provide each client with representation that is tailored to their experiences, needs, and goals.
