Dedicated Advocates
Too often, the criminal justice system focuses on punishment, without regard for rehabilitation and restoration.
At Hepworth & Pendry, our lawyers are committed to the practice of compassionate criminal defense. With over 30 years of litigation experience, we provide clients in the Washington Metro area the dedicated representation they deserve.
Focusing on Restorative Justice
Clients come to us from all walks of life. Some have been wrongly accused of a crime. Others were under the influence of a drug addiction or suffer from mental health problems. Still others simply made a poor decision.
Our goal is to reach a positive, restorative outcome for all our clients.
We take each client's unique needs and abilities into account. Combining the human element with strong legal strategy, we are often able to position our clients to be restored to the community in a way that benefits the community as well as the client.
Assisting Other Attorneys with Sentencing Issues
With decades of litigation experience, we are available to act as sentencing consultants in criminal cases. We offer our colleagues a wealth of trial experience and assist litigators with:
- Gathering and analyzing mitigation evidence
- Fashioning workable sentencing plans
- Developing legal arguments which support the plan
We can help you turn your problem case into one that gives your client the best chance for a favorable resolution.
