A Strong Legacy of Constitutional Jurisprudence
Our attorneys have been involved in many of the most pressing constitutional issues and crises of our time. These issues include First Amendment, Tenth Amendment, Ninth Amendment, and Fourteenth Amendment issues. We have specifically litigated marriage rights, parental rights, medical rights, student rights, diability issues, equal education rights, minority rights, religious freedom, Free Press rights, and a myriad of other interesting issues over the years. Specifically, we have been involved in the following cases, among others:

We take constitutional cases on an individual basis and such cases are selected based on public policy, respect for a strict interpretation of the U.S. Constitution, and where time permits us to provide zealous representation in such cases.
