How We Define Our Work

Client-Centered: Still She Rises’ client-centered approach puts the client as the engine for all action. It involves taking the time to be curious and learn our client’s goals and struggles. It is dedicating our practice to success, not just in the case, but as our clients define it. Finally, our defense teams are led by clients in achieving those goals, rather than passively receiving a dictated path.
Holistic: Respect for the dignity of our clients is the foundation of our holistic approach. It is not designed with an expectation that clients need their legal team to be involved in every aspect of their personal life, but instead with a deep understanding of the interconnected systems that operate together to injure our clients’ dignity and autonomy. Our effective and zealous legal defense incorporates advocacy in spaces within and beyond the courtroom because we recognize the barriers to our clients’ goals are multi-faceted.
Collaborative: In collaborative advocacy, clients and team members each contribute their expertise in developing a dynamic and agile strategy to achieve the clients’ goals. Team members engage with clients and with one another continuously to ensure the alignment of strategies with the goals of our clients.

Core Values

We see a just society where the dignity of every member of that society, regardless of gender, is respected.
