Defending Those Who Defend Life

With You From the Sidewalk to the Courtroom

Since our very first case, NOW v. Scheidler, we have steadfastly supported our nation’s pro-life champions. We have fought against coercion and intimidation—all the way to the Supreme Court—and have emerged victorious. As a leading pro-life law firm, we have established the groundwork for you to protest the grave injustice of abortion wherever it occurs. If your right to advocate for your beliefs is ever violated, we are the foremost and most reliable resource to call upon.

Additionally, we have successfully represented clients who object to providing abortion-related medical coverage because of their religious convictions, as well as those who oppose the unlawful use of taxpayer funds for abortion.
