About Us

Serious about justice. Not about ourselves.

We're a small group of justice architects. We use our legal skills to transform the systems that perpetuate poverty into systems of opportunity. We're generalists with enough range to help our homeless clients navigate those problematic systems. And we're creative tinkerers when developing better ways to achieve justice—even if the prototype is all jenky and held together by duct tape. :p But we're not too self-important that we can't laugh about the hubris of chasing after our dreams.
