Our clients are people who are unable to fight for themselves at times when their rights are violated. For some, previous experience with the legal system has been excruciating or ineffective — they have no expectation of justice. For others, a criminal record, mental illness or addiction puts them at an automatic disadvantage when alleging police abuse or workplace discrimination. When faced with these types of situations clients need to know they do have a voice.
