Eighty percent (80%) of all wrongful convictions result from five critical flaws within the legal system, what we call “The Five to Fix.”

• Misidentification - when a victim or witness incorrectly identifies the defendant as the perpetrator

• Faulty Forensic Evidence - when “junk science” is used to connect the defendant to the crime scene or victim

• False Confessions - when a police officer or prosecutor pressures the defendant into falsely admitting they were involved in the crime

• Perjury/False Accusation - when the victim or witness makes fabricated statements to implicate the defendant in the crime

• Official Misconduct - when a police officer or prosecutor interferes with evidence to make the defendant appear guilty

Litigating wrongful conviction cases requires unique legal skills, including investigating cases several years after the crime and introducing new evidence to the courts that prove the defendant’s innocence.

Our founding partner, Jarrett Adams, was an innocent man incarcerated for a crime he did not commit. He spent years studying the law while in prison and was eventually able to win his freedom. Once a free man, he became a lawyer to help other wrongfully convicted people overcome this profound injustice as he once did. 

Mr. Adams and his team intimately understand the challenges that innocent people and their families face. This kind of first-hand knowledge in a lawyer is rare and allows us to provide holistic and precise representation to our clients.

If you, or a loved one, have been wrongly imprisoned and your conviction was based on one or more of The Five to Fix issues, The Law Offices of Jarrett Adams possesses the necessary expertise to unravel the legal maze and help reverse your conviction.
