Get all custom posts with a certain taxonomy

Question

So the site i am working on has a Custom Post type of "Case Results" and one of the columns is "Type of Case". On a certain page I need to get all of these "Case Results with a "Type of Case" of "Criminal Defense Case". I can't seem to figure out which arguments will get me this in WP_Query.

I have tried many combinations but my most recent attempt looks like:

        $args = [
            'post_type' => 'case-results',
            'tax_query' => [
                [
                    'taxonomy' => 'type-of-case',
                    'field' => 'slug',
                    'term' => 'criminal-defense-case'
                ]
            ]
        ];

The proper argument to your tax query is terms, not term. You can see this in one of the examples in the Codex:

$args = array(
    'post_type' => 'post',
    'tax_query' => array(
        array(
            'taxonomy' => 'people',
            'field'    => 'slug',
            'terms'    => 'bob',
        ),
    ),
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );

Assuming that your post types, and taxonomies are what they appear to be, and the slugs are correct, with that change your code should work.
