The Mercury Endeavor, LLC
The Mercury Endeavor, LLC is a mitigation and sentencing-advocacy firm assisting defense attorneys with investigation, preparation, and strategy for sentencing phases in capital and non-capital felony cases.
While defense-team attorneys and investigators work to uncover "what" happened during an alleged criminal offense, The Mercury Endeavor conducts exhaustive investigation to discover, analyze, and organize evidence through bio-psycho-social history in order to explain "why" the alleged offense may have occurred and the reasons why life-sentence, or less, is most appropriate.i
Founded by Tim Jon Semmerling, PhD, JD and Stephen M. O’Connor, JD, The Mercury Endeavor works with defense teams in state, federal, and military jurisdictions. The Mercury Endeavor has particular expertise and cultural competency in working with Arab and Muslim defendants and serving defense teams challenged with understanding Middle Eastern and Islamic cultures and acculturation issues.
