Vision Statement

Advocacy requires engaging with every aspect of our clients’ lives.  We will defend our clients with purpose, compassion, and courage; identifying inequities that deny them of freedoms, drive their prosecutions, and inflate their sentences.  We will work to reform the criminal legal system that is too often blind to these realities.  We will partner with those who serve our community to help secure a future for our clients and their families.  And we will strive to provide aid to and set an example for the present and future generations of our professions.

Mission Statement

We are committed to excellence and the quest for justice of the indigent accused, focusing on our clients’ needs with innovation, passion, and through dynamic advocacy.
