Adam suffers from paranoid schizophrenia, which led to his trespassing on private property. Once arrested, he couldn’t distinguish between who was trying to help him and who was not. He needed mental health services as well as legal representation.
Corey was 15 years old and facing an adult robbery charge and adult prison time. He was guilty, but only by association -- his involvement did not warrant hard time. As a juvenile automatically charged as an adult, he needed extra hand-holding and personal attention.
Anne's court-appointed attorney was suspicious when Anne said she was innocent. She didn’t want to plea and went looking for a lawyer who would believe her side of the story.
In each of these cases and in every criminal defense case we address, we represent those for whom our ability to dedicate time and compassion will greatly reduce their chance of being rearrested.
We focus our criminal defense services on cases involving mental illness, juveniles, first-time offenders and cases of actual innocence. Our clients are relatively new to the criminal justice system.
