Mitigation Specialist Services

As Mitigation Specialists, we prepare comprehensive psycho-social histories of defendants through client interviews, collateral interviews with multi-generational family members and others, and the collection and evaluation of life history records (school, hospital, child welfare agencies, etc.). We use this information to develop mitigation themes and work with attorneys to present this information on the client’s behalf.

In addition, we consult with experts, manage relationships with clients and their families, as well as maintain contacts with local social service providers to connect clients with needed services and inform client advocacy.
