“Close your eyes and picture something you want, no matter what is in front of it, that you would do anything humanly possible to get to...all you have to do is keep fighting until you figure out a way to get to that other side.”
Attorney
I am an attorney with the Innocence Project, Co-Founder of Life After Justice, and advocate for criminal justice reform.
I spend most days as an attorney working on a variety of cases including trials, arrests & arraignments, sentencing, and sentence modification. It involves reading and researching the case I am working on, getting to know my client, and then developing a defense or prosecution depending on the case. I also work with the Innocence Project to review potential false imprisonment cases and bring those back to trial to get them overturned.
Here's the first step for high school students
Going to community college is a great first step to get your foot in the door and help you build the relationships needed to succeed. Getting an AA in something general like Liberal Arts sets you up to study almost anything you want.
"You have to forgive the people that did you wrong and move on. "
