The Legal

Breakdown.

EKO is about making the law accessible to—and actionable for—everyone. In The Legal Breakdown, we highlight the latest legal questions or issues we’re seeing and break them down in human-speak to let you know what’s legal and what’s not. We also use this space to share real life stories, EKO cases, and outcomes. Because in our 10+ year careers, we’ve handled unprecedented cases, nailed countless offenders, and made some major headway for victims. And we want to share what we’ve learned along the way. So take a read, enjoy the ride, and get more clarity about your rights
