We represent people who have been convicted of crimes they did not commit. We have won or assisted with the exonerations of seven clients, who were unjustly incarcerated for 21 years on average. Our firm has also secured numerous multi-million dollar recoveries for civil rights violations and wrongful imprisonment.

We vet our cases thoroughly and firmly believe in the innocence of everyone we represent. Once we take on a case, we handle it through all stages, from reinvestigation to post-conviction litigation, appeals, and civil lawsuits. 

Exonerations require teamwork, and we often collaborate with other law firms, legal aid and innocence organizations, and conviction integrity units. Our mantra is to “leave no stone unturned” in the fight to free innocent people.

In addition to our work on individual cases, our firm advocates reforms to New York laws and district attorneys’ policies to advance the rights of wrongfully convicted New Yorkers.
