I am a civil rights lawyer. It is what I do and who I am. I go to court to fight for victims of jail medical neglect, police misconduct, and employment discrimination and harassment. I am a trial lawyer and proud to call myself one.

I endorse this lawyer. Hank is a terrific attorney who has taken on some tough fights and has been extremely successful. He fights for people whose rights have been violated and there is no better advocate than Hank!
