From scholars and litigators to marketers and philanthropists, our Board is committed to restoring freedom for people and communities around the country.
Over the past four decades, the Philadelphia police have sentenced countless individuals to a lifetime behind bars – many of them undeserving of their punishment.
Instead of justice, criminal behavior and corruption have determined the outcome.
Our Board is here to right these wrongs.
See who’s making it possible.

Gregg, or “G” as he is known among friends and coworkers, brings extraordinary compassion and patience to his work at Second Justice. G joined the team in 2022 and has steadily increased his role. He now is responsible for reviewing files, evaluating potential new cases, providing support for all litigation cases, and a majority of client contact.
The last item deserves special recognition because G’s phone NEVER stops ringing. If he is on with one client, it’s as likely as not that he has another one (at least) on hold. And the calls don’t stop when G leaves the office at the end of the day.
G’s dedication comes after a hard fought process where he was convicted as a young man,
given a long sentence, and, after many years, was able to win his freedom through
commutation. All the people G talks to everyday know that HE KNOWS a lot about what they’re going through.
When he is not combing through Second Justice case files, you can find him at home in the
West Mount Airy section of the city on the phone after hours fielding calls from prisoners,
listening to jazz music, working out at the gym, on his bike, or spending time with family
