Today, SEARCY DENNEY SCAROLA BARNHART & SHIPLEY, P.A. took a stand with over 500 law firms across the country, 350 former federal and state court judges, 360 law professors, a group of 11 legal advocacy organizations in advocating for the freedom of attorneys to take on clients and unpopular causes so that judges can analyze thorough records in cases.

For over two centuries, the United States has been a beacon of democracy and justice, grounded in the unwavering principle that no individual is above the law. Those foundational principles face a direct assault as Executive Orders target law firms that have dared to resist constitutionally questionable and often clearly unlawful government practices. The harsh punitive measures imposed against the administration’s legal opponents have included the withdrawal of security clearances, prohibition against entry into federal government buildings, and a bar from all federal employment. 

SEARCY DENNEY recognizes actions such as these are a direct assault on our fundamental freedoms, and we are proud to have joined the American Civil Liberties Union and other legal advocacy organizations across the ideological spectrum in filing an amicus brief asking a federal judge to strike down President Donald Trump’s executive order targeting law firm Perkins Coie for its past work on voting rights lawsuits and its representation of the President’s prior political opponents.

SEARCY DENNEY has pledged to continue fighting to safeguard our Constitution and the Rule of Law. We call on every individual attorney and all legal organizations to join us in supporting this position.
