Our Founder's Story
When Jason Sias was about 10-years-old, he was awakened by the sounds of his mother crying and screaming, “He’s just a kid.” He cracked his eyes open to see a bedroom full of law enforcement officers, guns drawn. Afraid for his life, he shut his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
OUR SERVICE MODEL
EDUCATE
Whether you receive a general consultation or entrust us with legal representation, we recognize that when you are informed about your legal rights, you will have realistic expectations about your case, and you acquire knowledge that can empower the community.
Advocate
We are honored to be your voice and provide access to quality representation. We understand how emotional and frustrating it is to be involved in litigation and we revel in lifting that burden and stress from you so that you can concentrate on healing and wellness.
AdJUDICATE
We believe that each case symbolizes a chance to be a beacon of justice and equity. Our representation provides the client with dignity and respect, and our outcomes generate effective and impactful results for the client and sets precedent for systemic change.

Personal Injury / Wrongful Death
We navigate the complex process of holding those who caused injury, or a family member’s death, responsible so they can receive compensation for their care or improve life to the extent possible. We afford our clients the ability to recover and return to a normal life.
Estate Planning
We understand the importance of planning for the future and the pain of losing a loved one. We help every day people secure their legacy with financial planning opportunities that have been historically reserved for the rich, and provide heirs mental space for them to grieve.

Movement Lawyering
Jason Sias and his team have been fighting for racial justice to promote safe spaces for people of color for the last ten years. We hold government agencies accountable for deprivation of civil rights, have worked pro bono to protect rights of our mixed immigration status communities, and cross-train with other attorneys and the public to strengthen overlapping causes.
TAKE ACTION
Too many times people of color have been marginalized and disenfranchised from their rights, and victims are silenced out of fear of retaliation from their oppressors. We are here to help you take back your story and make sure that it will not be told from the lens of someone else. We are building a legal infrastructure that is committed to transparency, responsiveness, sensibility, and collaboration that brings support, answers, compensation and closure. We hope that you will join us and strengthen our communities by entrusting us with your representation.
