Karen A. Newirth
Attorney-at-Law
I founded Newirth Law PLLC to bring best-in-class legal services to those seeking justice. In each case, I draw on twenty years of experience as a criminal defense lawyer, an impact litigator, a civil rights lawyer, a reformer of the criminal legal system, and a teacher and trainer.
I specialize in cases involving claims of actual innocence and other miscarriages of justice, including those resulting from police and prosecutorial misconduct. I am a nationally recognized expert in the law and science of eyewitness misidentification and false confessions.
I am an attorney, advocate, author, educator, and reformer.
