Our Issues

Since 2009 we have taken on a wide variety of issues that promote constitutional freedoms for our clients.

COVID-19

While COVID-19 is a serious concern and certain precautions may be prudent to reduce its rate of spread, it is important that the government follows the law when mandating extraordinary and wide-reaching pandemic rules. No one is above the law, not even in a declared emergency or pandemic. View cases

Free Speech

No one should be forced to associate with an organization they don’t agree with. Likewise, no one’s speech should be suppressed even if it is unpopular. View cases

Government Transparency

Laws that require government agencies to provide public records are a fundamental element of making the government transparent to the people. As a representative of the people, it is important that the government maintain clear and open communication with them. View cases

Labor Rights

Following the 2018 United States Supreme Court case Janus v. AFSCME, no worker can be forced to pay money to a union as a condition of employment. Workers now have the right to decide if they want to financially support a union. View cases

Property Rights

The right to property is one of the fundamental rights we have as Americans. The government or law enforcement should not be able to restrict access to or seize private property without just compensation to its owner. View cases

Education

Parents have a fundamental right to direct the education of their children and should be able to choose the best learning options for them. View cases

Healthcare

Government restrictions should not get in the way of doctors treating their patients. Patients’ options should not be restricted by unnecessary government regulations. View cases

Where We Work

Located in Midland, MI, the majority of our work is focused in our home state. For the past decade, we have filed cases across Michigan in order to make it a more prosperous and free state. You can see our influence on the map to the right. We have had the privilege to help clients in the communities you see indicated by the dots.

Our influence doesn’t stop at the Michigan border. We’ve worked in several states across the country, defending clients, writing Amicus Briefs and more. You can see the states we have been active in below.
