The Internationally recognized leader in video sentencing advocacy.

a humanity to reveal.

Ordinary measures lead to ordinary results.

Every client’s story matters. A good lawyer understands the importance of uncovering that story and telling it well. Typical tools of advocacy pale in comparison to a well-crafted short documentary video. Passon is on the cutting edge of this powerful and persuasive litigation process.

As a criminal defense lawyer with over 20 years’ experience and an award-winning filmmaker, Passon possesses a one-of-a-kind skillset. He will help illuminate the truth of your client’s story in a way traditional methods of persuasion advocacy simply cannot. This method is not only accepted, but welcomed in courts across the country.
