Founding Partner
I started this firm after two decades of working at nonprofits for people who were held in jails and prisons and for journalists writing about them. I believed there was room for a small, private law firm with the expertise to help those who want to stand up for their rights. I’ve found over the years that it’s critical to hold the government accountable for misconduct and abuse, and the law is one powerful tool to do that. That’s why I’ll be passionate about your case and helping you to succeed.
