“OPOC doctors composed an affidavit regarding the realities of my client's liver failure. When I produced the affidavit in court, the judge paused on the bench to read it in its entirety. The mood shifted. My client left the building that day with a resolved case, renewed hope that his life mattered and an ability to focus on his health.”

— Liz Pardy, Public Defender
