In response to President Trump issuing a presidential memorandum on "Preventing Abuses of the Legal System and the Federal Court," Ryan Barack of Kwall Barack Nadeau PLLC issued the following statement:
"For decades, the lawyers of Kwall Barack Nadeau PLLC have stood with the people, fighting to uphold the rights of employees, safeguard constitutional protections, and ensure that no one is above the law. We have represented individuals and classes of people who have faced discrimination, retaliation, and injustice, not because it was easy, but because it was the right thing to do.
The Trump Administration’s recent memorandum targeting attorneys who dare to challenge unlawful actions is a direct threat to the rule of law. It is meant to intimidate law firms like ours and to discourage the kind of advocacy we have practiced for years: principled, fearless, and rooted in justice.
Make no mistake, the goal of the Trump Administration is not only to punish specific lawyers or firms, but to chill the legal profession itself, until there is no one left willing to stand up in court and say, 'This is wrong.'
Our democracy depends on lawyers willing to speak truth to power. At Kwall Barack Nadeau PLLC we have done that for years and we’re not stopping now."
