As an office that practices Holistic Defense, we have a team of social workers, case managers, advocates, and interns who work as part of our interdisciplinary team. These team members partner with clients in order to better understand and assess their unique challenges and strengths, and social services staff play a crucial role in addressing both the root cause and collateral consequence of our clients’ involvement in the criminal legal system.

​

 

In addition to direct client services and supports, our office’s social services practice emphasizes connecting with the communities we serve. Social services staff are eager to learn about the neighborhoods our clients come from in order to better address our client’s needs and tell our client’s stories. For this reason, we are eager to partner with our client’s circle of supports. If you are a friend, family member, neighbor, teacher, advocate, case manager, etc. and are concerned about your loved one’s criminal case, we encourage you to call our office to share your concerns. While our team must maintain client confidentiality and may not be able to share information about his/her case, we always appreciate receiving helpful information so we can better serve our clients.
