Individual Cases - Recent Success Story
Waller attorneys often give of their free time to defend clients in worthy causes. For the past two months, our attorneys have been representing a young sex trafficking victim and the key government witness against members of three Somali gangs at various pre-trial and in-trial proceedings in U.S. v. Adan. On May 3, 2012, the jury returned its verdict, convicting three of the six defendants. These convictions constitute a success for the government, and a very meaningful result for our client.
