Our team

The people on your case

Three attorneys, two paralegals and a bench of volunteer lawyers who give their Saturdays.

Every case has one attorney responsible for it and one paralegal who answers your calls. We meet every Monday to go over the hard ones together, so your case gets more than one set of eyes.
