Pacific Legal Foundation is a public interest law firm that defends Americans’ liberties when threatened by government overreach and abuse. We sue the government when it violates Americans’ constitutional rights—and we win.
We’ve been fighting for freedom since 1973. Over our 50 years, we’ve brought 20 cases to the Supreme Court and won 18 victories, including landmark cases in property rights and administrative law.
Every year PLF represents hundreds of Americans, free of charge, who seek to improve their lives but are stymied by government. We give them their day in court to vindicate their rights and set a lasting precedent to protect everyone else.
“When you’re dealing with these government agencies, they pretty much have you over a barrel. I wanted to go after the county and do everything I could to win.”
—George Sheetz
California homeowner (and PLF client) who won his case at the Supreme Court
