We Enforce the Law

We are trial lawyers who represent individuals damaged when others violate the law. We have focus on civil rights and whistleblower laws, especially in the workforce.

Corporate Accountability

As private attorneys general we prosecute corporations and organizations who illegally discriminate against good employees, ignoring proven merit, and using pretext to cover up the violation.

Civil Rights Defenders

We protect those who are unlawfully discriminated against by those who favor factors other than merit and ability and defend whistleblowers who are retaliated against for reporting or opposing safety violations or illegal activity.

Compassion & Ethics

Wisdom  —  Courage  —  Justice

The courtroom can be a frightening place with many pitfalls. This causes many people to fear or lose confidence in the justice system.

We believe that the courthouse, when operating properly, is an honorable place designed to do good things for people with just causes.

A court provides a remedy to those harmed by a violation of the law. Providing this remedy is the measure of a civilized society.

A jury, as a committee of persons from the community, acts as the conscience of the community to protect the community.

The law allows attorneys who defend civil rights to act as a private attorney general to pursue wrongs and protect the public from future violations.

Everyone deserves protection from violations of the law and to have a qualified person standing up for him or her in the courtroom.

Personalized attention

We consider ourselves to be not only your team but your friends. We represent people we not only like but love. By necessity we are very selective in taking on a case.

If we represent you, it means we believe in the merits of your case and the likelihood of a favorable outcome at trial.  We prepare for trial the moment we meet a client for the first time and do not stop until we have had every opportunity to reach a successful resolution.
