This firm represents those uniquely vulnerable in our justice system: The Innocent.
Call: 310-780-4522
We investigate wrongful conviction cases for evidence of innocence and any police or prosecutorial misconduct that caused the innocent person's wrongful conviction.
If you have a criminal record for a crime you did not commit, we can litigate your Petition for a Finding of Factual Innocence and recover money for each day of your wrongful incarceration.
In partnership with other firms, we litigate exonerees civil claims to hold the responsible officials accountable. A portion of our fees are donated to Innocence Matters.
