In this profession, we have the opportunity to help change lives for the better or we can simply continue to be a part of the problem. We strive to be a part of the solution. Every life is valuable and you cannot properly represent a client unless you see a person and not a case number. The role of mitigation in criminal defense is to tell the client's story and to advocate for one's life. A Mitigation Specialist provides insight into criminal culpability by helping the judge and jury understand an individuals mental health, adverse childhood experiences and childhood trauma, as well as various other adverse community factors which impact an individual's childhood. In mitigation we present the humanity that is found in every human being.
