A History of Dedicated Defense in D.C.

One of our firm’s founding attorneys, Michael B. Hanzel, previously served as an appellate defense attorney in Washington, D.C. While there, he successfully won a high-profile case at the Court of Appeals on behalf of a U.S. Marine. The case, which dealt with the military’s criminalization of bona fide suicide attempts, helped to draw attention to this criminalization policy during a period when active duty and veteran suicide attempts were at an all-time high. The case was instrumental in causing the Department of Defense to order a review of its suicide policies.
