Testimonials
"At trial, opposing counsel told us and the judge twice that our evidence submission was one of the best he's ever seen in over twenty years, and this is in great part due to the amazing work that MJA's doctors did! This case couldn't have been won without this organization, so thank you so much for all that you've done for us (especially on such an incredibly short timeline!)"
Cara Hernandez
Attorney
"With healthcare increasingly corporatized and bureaucratic, it can be easy to become frustrated and lose sight of why I became a physician sometimes. Volunteering with the Medical Justice Alliance has been a powerful antidote to that."
Marcus Bachhuber
MD
"MJA’s work is -literally- saving lives. Without a physician’s input, it can be extremely difficult for defense attorneys to convince the powers that be of the precarious health situations that many of our incarcerated clients face."
Jose David Rodriguez
