Record gathering is an extremely important tool for purposes of mitigation and for their use in trial. The firm is able to obtain records such as medical, court, social history, and mental health to highlight details of a client's history.

It is highly important to humanize every client and share their social history to the District Attorney and the Courts. Clients are more than just their charges.
