First Amendment attorney

Speech Law LLC is Ohio's only law firm focused exclusively on defending the public's right to free speech. Representative clients include: • whistleblowers like the police officers fired for asking who deleted the chief's son from an underage-drinking report ( • the proud owner of Ohio's first GAY license plate ( • the woman threatened with jail time for giving her mother's nursing home a one-star review on Google ( We aim to be the first stop for anyone looking to find and speak the truth, so we also do quite a bit of work on freedom of information, open meetings, open courts, and defamation. Our client list is growing quickly, so we are looking to expand beyond a solo operation and bring in litigators who can assist with our First Amendment portfolio. Will you get rich in this job?
