The Hamilton Lincoln Law Institute
is a public interest law firm dedicated to:

Dismantling the progress left's attacks on civil society

Countering government overreach

Fighting class action abuse

Combating NGO's engaging in civil terrorism

Focused Advocacy.
Proven Results.

Our lawyers are dedicated to fighting—and winning—cases that defend free speech and challenge regulatory abuse and government overreach. We pursue litigation that strengthens constitutional boundaries and produces real, lasting impact.
Our team has successfully argued and won appeals in federal courts, and our co-founder, Ted Frank, has argued—and prevailed—in cases before the United States Supreme Court.
