Heart of Justice seeks to help the general public understand the basics of mitigation, why defense lawyers need mitigation, and what historical information on defendants do juries use to base their verdicts on. Each month our Mitigation Specialist Victoria Rusk is interviewed by Television, Podcasts and Radio outlets.
Andrew & Andrew Texas Criminal Defense Podcast
Cases like murder, aggravated assault, aggravated robbery, sexual assault are the first cases that come to mind that NEED mitigation. Andrews and Andrew are Texas criminal defense lawyers that admit there are cases when even the best of lawyers don’t know how to best serve their clients. A mitigation specialist like Victoria can really shine a light on the path forward by not only looking at the case but more importantly looking at the person. Who is this person accused and how did they get to this particular situation.
Victoria Rusk highlights what exactly mitigation is and how it can help on your case, especially your non-capital cases. Victoria encourages everyone to be their authentic selves but also professionally don’t worry about being nice, just do good work. She also loves the book The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success.
