Building on our past experience in social work and criminal defense law
For a small self-funded family charity, we’ve probably ventured into too many projects. But we’ve enjoyed thinking we can put our prior careers in social work and criminal defense law to good use in some targeted areas where we think the public is poorly served.
Recently we joined retired Judge Michael Scopelitis in starting the Earning Another Look program to afford inmates with outstanding institutional records and proven histories of self-improvement the assistance of counsel in seeking modification of their sentences.
With our concern about the commonly underserved needs of people charged with crimes, we built and maintain DefenseMap.com, a free bilingual tool helping these people to survey and communicate more thoroughly about the special issues in their lives.
