Why we practice

Rights are only as real as the lawyer willing to enforce them.

We take the cases that test the limits of government power — criminal defendants facing the full weight of the federal system, citizens denied the records they are owed, and clients whose constitutional rights were treated as negotiable. We litigate them as if the principle were the client, because it is.

What sets us apart

A team that has seen the system from every side.

Jonathan Gross built this firm on a conviction few can offer: to fight government overreach, you have to understand it from the inside and the outside. Its people have served at the heart of federal law enforcement and the Department of Justice — Jonathan as Senior Counsel in the DOJ Civil Rights Division under Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon; Jared Wise as an FBI Assistant Legal Attaché and Supervisory Special Agent directing teams of agents and task-force officers at home and abroad, and later a Senior Advisor to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. Cindy Young and Jared Wise are former January 6 defendants.

That is a rare vantage, and it is the whole point. This team knows how a prosecution is built, where it overreaches, and how the machinery of justice can be turned into a weapon — because they have watched it from the government's side of the table and from the receiving end. Few firms can say they have seen it both ways. This one has.

Case Highlights

Weaponization of Justice

Forcing the DOJ to keep its own promise to the January 6 defendants.

J6ers Were Destroyed By Weaponization v. Blanche · No. 1:26-cv-02082 · U.S. District Court, D.D.C.

On behalf of more than 100 January 6 defendants, the firm has sued the U.S. Attorney General to compel the investigation the Department of Justice itself pledged — into the abusive and unethical prosecutions these defendants endured. The suit seeks no money damages; it asks only for the accountability the government promised.

First Amendment · Public Access

Unsealing the January 6 record — for defendants, the press, and history.

J6 Historical Society v. Pirro · No. 1:26-cv-02811 · U.S. District Court, D.D.C.

The firm represents the J6 Historical Society in a First Amendment suit to lift the boilerplate protective orders that sealed January 6 discovery — the same order language copied across roughly a thousand prosecutions. It asks the court to give each defendant an unrestricted copy of their own case file and to open the government's global evidence databases to the public for research and history.
