The South Carolina Root & Rebound team was able to take the three-pronged model of direct legal services, policy, and education and tailor that model to South Carolina’s specific needs. We are partnered with Soteria (a men’s reentry program led by Greenville-native Jerry Blassingame) and the two organizations form what is called the Second Chance Justice Collaborative (SCJC).

The South Carolina R&R office is composed of four attorneys hailing from diverse backgrounds in the criminal justice system.

Kate Weaver Patterson ([email protected]) is our managing attorney/site director as well as the Deputy Director of National Programs for the entire Root & Rebound organization.

Alesia Rico Flores ([email protected]) is the South Carolina Director of Systems Change.

Anastasia (“Ana”) Walker ([email protected]) is the South Carolina Director of Legal Services.

Allison Elder ([email protected]) is an Equal Justice Works Fellow (sponsored by the Leonard & Robert Weintraub Family Foundation) and attorney that specializes in family reunification and other family law matters.
