Community Service:

Steve has represented death row inmates from both Louisiana and Mississippi in post-conviction proceedings, and has worked with the NAACP Legal Defense Fund and other organizations on issues such as the constitutionality of executing juveniles and persons with mental retardation. Steve is one of the lawyers who won the release of Albert Burrell, an innocent man, from Louisiana’s death row. Mr. Burrell was exonerated and freed from the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola in January 2001, after spending more than thirteen years on death row for a crime that he did not commit.
