Our Firm
Who We Serve: Our clients are public employees defending their constitutional rights, facing union retaliation, fighting unfair representation, or demanding accountability for corruption by union officials. We have represented teachers, firefighters, municipal employees, liquor store employees, public university professors, corrections officers, traffic agents, and dozens of others who have been hurt by public-sector union officials. We offer our free legal services in Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New York, and Colorado as well as to federal government employees wherever they work or reside.
