Represents people held in county jails and state prisons, and the families who write for them.

He is as likely to be on the phone with a client’s sister as with the client.

What I ask for first
A grievance form, a medication log, a housing record, a release date calculation. Anything the facility wrote down is a start, and what it did not write down is often the case.
Time matters inside. Deadlines run while a person is still locked up, so I would rather hear from you early, with a partial file, than late with a complete one.
