We believe narratives build bridges.

Advancing Real Change, Inc. promotes justice by ensuring that the life histories of people
​charged with crimes are at the forefront of their cases.


We serve as mitigation specialists on defense teams for indigent clients facing extreme sentences. Our goal is to develop an accurate, multi-dimensional account of the accused's life, including investigating the circumstances of the offense. Each investigation requires multiple in-depth conversations with the client, interviews with those with knowledge of the client's life, and exhaustive records searches. Because each client's experiences are unique, no two investigations are the same.

“Real change, enduring change,
happens one step at a time.”
