Righting Wrongs. Rebuilding Futures.

Our Philosophy

America's legal system is powerful, imperfect, and often overwhelming. When mistakes, misconduct, or conflict change the course of someone's life, the fallout can be devestating. Our job is to step in when the stakes are highest and solve complex legal problems with clarity, strategy, and care.

​

​We take a client-centered approach, treating every case as both a personal story and a legal challenge. Whether it's untangling a high-stakes dispute, fighting a wrongful conviction, or guiding someone through difficult civil or criminal litigation, our goal is the same: righting wrongs and rebuilding futures.​

MEET

Allison Clayton

Allison Clayton built her career on the hardest cases — the ones shaped by human error, institutional failures, or legal complexities that most lawyers won’t touch. After many years of clerking for both state and federal judges, she opened her own firm in 2014 to take on those challenges head-on.

​

​Her practice spans criminal appeals, wrongful convictions, civil rights cases, and complex civil disputes. She has litigated in courts across the country, including the U.S. Supreme Court. What defines her work isn’t the venue, but the mission: smart advocacy, honest guidance, and a relentless push toward justice.
