A Threat to Law and Democracy
Americans have a fundamental right to use the courts to challenge the actions of our government and to hire lawyers to represent them. The Trump administration’s actions designed to discourage and intimidate lawyers and law firms from representing clients seeking to challenge it are contrary to the basic tenants of our Constitutional democracy.
This attack on lawyers is an attack on the rule of law. For our courts to function, law firms and lawyers must be free to zealously represent their clients, without fear of retribution from the government. The Trump administration’s punitive measures against advocates who have challenged its actions, along with threats to impeach judges who have ruled against it, undermine our judicial system.
Our role in holding the powerful to account is what makes us proud to be lawyers. Reis & Kirkland stands with all of the lawyers and law firms across the country doing that honorable work.
“In America the law is king.” (Thomas Paine. “Common Sense.” 1976)
“There can be no peace without law.” (Dwight D. Eisenhower)
“Where law ends, tyranny begins.” (William Pitt)
“When dictators and tyrants seek to destroy the freedoms of men, their first target is the legal profession and through it the rule of law.” (Leon Jaworski)
Litigation can be an extremely difficult process, especially after catastrophic injuries and losses that have profoundly harmed a client.
We appreciate our clients’ need for guidance and understanding under these circumstances, and we try to make their experience with litigation as easy and understandable as possible.
Kimberly and Randy (pictured) are personally involved in every aspect of each case we review. We take the time to evaluate each potential case and explain the law and the medical proof required to prevail. We will give you our honest judgment about the merits of your claim.
“Dear Kimberly and Randy,
I think of you both often and feel fortunate to have had your guidance throughout our stressful and emotionally taxing experience. You both were supportive, positive and genuinely caring. I truly miss you as each time we met was so pleasurable regardless of the circumstances that brought us together.”
