Executive director, National Association of Public Defenders.


“Public defenders taught me everything I know about being a true believer.”

“I’ve learned the essence of teamwork and mitigation from public defenders.”

“My mother being shot by my father in front of me when I was five years old has had great impact. God said to show him the grace and mercy that God showed us that day by saving us.”
