We loved hosting Doug Passon, Esq., a sentencing and mitigation expert as our December 2025 Tuesday Night Speaker.
His presentation, which was open to all, is available here:
Doug Passon is a practicing criminal defense lawyer with almost 30 years experience in state and federal court. He has a national sentencing practice, focused on humanizing our clients through narrative. Passon is also an accomplished documentary filmmaker, having directed, filmed and edited award-winning short and feature-length documentaries that have played throughout North America and beyond. He has long been recognized as the pioneer in using short documentary films for mitigation in criminal and capital cases.
He co-authored a book on legal story-telling, The Narrative Gym For Law, with acclaimed author and story professional, Dr. Randy Olson. He also produces and hosts a weekly podcast called Set for Sentencing, the goal of which is to bring more awareness, fairness and hope to the sentencing process. He represents clients across the country, and in particular clients on the Autism Spectrum.
