Consider Supporting the Pacific Legal Foundation


As litigators fighting for property rights (or any other type of litigation), the long slog of the work in the trenches can sometimes bring us down or cause us to lose sight of the big picture. That's what it's great to have the support of great organizations like Pacific Legal Foundation.

The Managing Attorney of PLF's Atlantic Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Mark Miller, recently discussed my practice in a post on PLF's Liberty Blog. Perhaps most notably, Mark, a double Gator graduate of the University of Florida, was forced to say a few kind words my alma mater, The Florida State University. The cause of property rights really can bring good people together!

PLF has been doing great work in the field since 1973: it has chalked up seven victories in the U.S. Supreme Court. PLF also supported my firm and client with an amicus brief when I was working in Tallahassee on the briefing of a case defending the riparian rights of beachfront property owners before the U.S. Supreme Court. Stop the Beach Renourishment, Inc. v. Fla. Dep't of Envtl. Prot., 130 S. Ct. 2592 (2010). PLF also supported my client before the 11th Circuit in a case I've written about here that we are trying to get the U.S. Supreme Court to review. Hillcrest Property, LLP v. Pasco County, No. 14-864.

Please consider supporting PLF, and if you are an attorney with a property rights issue, call Mark to discuss getting amicus support from PLF.
