By submitting this form, you authorize Pacific Legal Foundation (PLF) to review the information you provide for the limited purpose of evaluating whether your case may fit PLF’s litigation program. It does not create an attorney-client relationship, does not constitute legal advice, and does not guarantee that you will receive a response. Your information is confidential and will not be sold or shared with third parties for marketing purposes. For urgent legal matters, consult a private attorney without waiting on PLF.

We fight in courts across the country against government overreach and abuse, for example when:

→ an agency is penalizing someone under a vague law that doesn’t seem to apply to their situation.

→ an agency is claiming authority over an industry or activity it has never regulated before.

→ someone is being charged by the same agency that accused them—before the agency’s own tribunal, not an independent court
