Knowledge is Power

Human trafficking is a complex and nuanced issue. Oftentimes, the legal system does not understand this crime or its victims. I consult with attorneys working on civil and criminal human trafficking cases to educate legal system stakeholders about the dynamics of human trafficking. This includes human trafficking criminal prosecutions, victim-offender cases where the trafficking victim is being charged with a crime and civil lawsuits against traffickers and third-parties. I also work with law firms and organizations to design human trafficking and pro bono programs.

Let’s work together.
