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.
HOW WE OPERATE
Impact Litigation
We pick cases that make a difference.
Merit Over Noise
We focus on important cases and disciplined legal strategy– because winning cases creates meaningful change.
Lean by Design
No fancy offices. No gala dinners. We keep overhead low so resources go where they matter most– into the cases.

“Aside from the results of the cases he has won, Frank’s work has helped highlight the abuses rampant in class action litigation.”
“The leading critic of abusive class action settlements is Ted Frank of the Center for Class Action Fairness….”
“…indefatigable scourge of underwhelming class action settlements….”
