The organization’s mission is to record, preserve and publicize the life and history of the courts of the District of Columbia Circuit. (April 2020).On December 4, 2019, the firm won a two-week civil trial in D.C. Superior Court for a client. The case involved a law firm dissolution, and we represented the defendant.

In June 2019, the firm won the post-trial dismissal of two convictions for tax fraud for a client in D.C. Superior Court, based on the government’s failure to disclose exculpatory information to the defense. It’s a case with some history. In October 2017, we  represented this client in the first trial of this matter. That trial ended in a hung jury. The government opted to try him for a second time. So, in March 2018, we tried the case to a jury for a second time. Once again, we helped the client avoid conviction–it was a hung jury (March 2018). The third trial ended with convictions on two of five counts. But, a few months later, those convictions were reversed and the government (finally!) agreed not to try the client again.
