When a crime-victim wants more from the Criminal system — more clarity, more agency, more custom approaches, more voice — we take the call to help.
When institutions cause harm, there are resources to create & fund comprehensive care-plans. We get responsible institutions to listen, and perform repair.
When survivors want to see broader social change, we team up with legislators, film-makers, lobbyists, journalists, and community organizers, to create change.
Whether you are early on your grieving journey, are looking for resources for a friend, or found me through a referral: I would like to help you get to know me a little better.
Growing up, my mother was hacking it on her own. We stayed on friends’ couches and after my infant brother Mehdi was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma, we spent weekends at Children’s Hospital for chemo treatment (he made it through). My mother put herself through law school when I was 15, and I followed that path later in my own life.. The experience a chaotic childhood left me with a strong feeling that there is nothing more than strength, stability, and support for families after trauma. I am particularly drawn to working with women and children.
In 2015, early in my law practice, I began training with Gerry Spence at his ranch, alongside other valuable mentors like Tom Metier. This started a decade-long journey in Psychodrama and Coaching, and a love for working in trauma-response and healing. After a year of practicing personal injury I joined in the investigation of groundwater contamination of Pavillion farmers, who had grown sick and whose plight had come to public awareness via the documentary “Gasland.” After four years of deep-dives into biochemistry, hydrogeology, drilling practices, lobbying and politics, the case resolved, and I was hired by family-members to investigate the mystery of a loved one laying near-death in the ICU. That turned into another three year landmark case, revealing a governmental conspiracy to conceal the torture of loved ones being detained in holding facilities.
In January 2021 I took a sabbatical from law practice, moving into a van and traveling the US. I spent time living with monks atop Mount Tabor, volunteered as camp counsellor at “Champ Camp,” directed a low-budget film, workshopped theatre, and trained in integrative and restorative justice approaches. I was brought on as outside counsel for a case involving corporate failure to prevent crime, which resulted in a historic verdict (the largest in the state’s history), thought as with most large verdicts, it was remanded on appeal for a new trial. I moved back home to Colorado in 2023, with increased clarity around wanting to start a family and having a law practice that would afford space for me to become a father and community-builder. I wanted my area of practice to be in line with core values of protecting the marginalized and low-income families struggling through extreme trauma, while speaking truth to powerful corporations.
I presently consult and work on mass-shootings, shootings, and corporate-facilitated sex-trafficking cases, particularly where they impact mothers and children. I partner with other law firms under co-counsel and of-counsel arrangements, to maintain a small case-load and deep contact with clients. I bring a decade of training and experience in holding space and finding creative, empowering ways forward into care and accountability. I help amplify voices and ensure the truth is heard. I believe that when the community is given the truth, and opportunity to step in to provide care to those who have been done a wrong, the community itself heals and grows.
I look forward to speaking with you about your story.
