Secured Exoneration and Award of Over $6,000,000

Joette Katz helped to secure an exoneration and award of over $6,000,000 for her client who had been wrongly incarcerated for over 20 years. Following the court’s decision vacating the client’s convictions and dismissal of all charges, our team then filed a claim with the Claims Commission on our client’s behalf on the grounds that his behavior was “consistent with innocence” under the operative statute. The Attorney General’s office quickly agreed that our client was entitled to be justly compensated, and the Claims Commissioner made the determination, and recommended the award to the legislature for approval.
