VICTIMS OF VIOLENT CRIME

The Shergill Law Firm also undertakes pro bono representation of victims of violent crime as they attempt to navigate the difficult emotional and legal aftermath of violent crimes. This includes reviewing the efforts of the District Attorney and responding to the media on behalf of the victim.  Sometimes the firm must file motions against the District Attorney to ensure that they respect the victim’s constitutional rights. Amar Shergill was successful in quashing subpoenas issued by a local District Attorney that would have revealed private conversations by the victim to her psychological counselor and to her attorneys.
