Root Legal

Our mission is to transform misconceptions around public safety by truly listening to the wishes of victims of crime—since they know best what justice means to them. Through legal representation, mediation, and community support, we aim to address the notoriously low satisfaction rates with the criminal justice system by providing options that empower victims, defendants, and communities to confront the actual root causes of harm. Rather than seeking punitive measures that our clients do not desire and which often lead to further pain for all involved, we aim to facilitate victims’ unique visions for justice and healing, giving communities the tools they need to create meaningful and lasting change.
