We are a firm of experienced trial lawyers who stand with our clients every step of the way as they move through a legal system rife with injustice.
Our practice focuses on civil rights and criminal defense, where we push the boundaries of the law not only to achieve victory as defined by our clients but to create positive, systemic change in and around the criminal legal system.
We are unapologetic and relentless in our efforts to fight for the wronged and their families, and we serve as a formidable check on a system that continues to oppress people.
Who We Are and Whom We Represent:
Led by partners Terry Gilbert, Marcus Sidoti, Sarah Gelsomino, Al Gerhardstein, and Jacqueline Greene, our combined experience and team approach make us well-suited to represent clients fighting back against civil rights violations and wrongdoing by the government, police, and jail officials.
We fiercely represent people facing criminal charges, from misdemeanors to felonies in state and federal court. In addition, we handle post-conviction motions and appeals following convictions or pleas in criminal cases.
Our track record is strong in representing individuals in controversial and difficult criminal and civil rights cases, with more than 100 jury cases tried to verdict and tens of millions of dollars won for our clients.
“
We do this job with heart and we believe strongly in what we do. This provides the foundation for success in our cases. But it’s not just about winning for us; it’s about truth-seeking and accountability and leaving the world better than when we came into it.”
