Attorneys & Judges
Our consulting team has provided attorneys sentence mitigation and post-sentence assistance. We offer expert evaluations and individualized reports that highlight any mitigating factors to a criminal act, such as childhood trauma, mental health issues or other special circumstances. We have also provided research, design, and implementation support to help develop courtroom programs that offer alternatives to incarceration, such as treatment or community service, by presenting evidence-based solutions that align with an individual's needs and public safety.
