Everyone is entitled to dignity and respect.

Everyone is presumed to be innocent.

Everyone deserves to be treated fairly in the criminal justice system.

Governmental efforts to deny the humanity of those accused of crimes must be resisted at every turn.

No one should be defined by the worst moments of their life.

Our society is freer and safer when the government is held to its burden.

Too many cases plead out and not enough go to trial.

In order for a judge or jury to care, the lawyer for the accused must care first.

Hard work and creative thinking produce the best results.

A lawyer must be brutally honest with clients, so they can make informed decisions.
