We seek to build a law firm focused on providing low-bono criminal defense services. We then seek to make it a sustainable model to transport to other parts of the state and nation.
Washington State is experiencing a significant reduction in public defense attorneys, and as a result, the strain on local governments to meet that burden is immense. Unfortunately, the ultimate costs are to individual community members who are directly impacted by the backlog of cases, extended incarceration, and lack of community resources.
Our goal is to build a law firm model that:
- Prioritizes defense attorney wellbeing and retention;
- Provides wraparound services to clients with in-house social workers and mitigation specialists;
- Dedicates at least (if not well more than) 50% of caseload to individuals who cannot afford an attorney by providing low-bono or pro bono services.
We opened shop this month. Right now, we just need funds to hire two additional attorneys and a paralegal.
