Public Law & Fighting Big Government

Whoever said "You can’t fight City Hall," didn’t know about O’Donnell Clark & Crew LLP. We regularly take on local, state and federal government agencies on behalf of individuals, families and businesses. We fight for your civil rights - freedom of speech or religion, property rights, election and ballot measure rights. Both Mark O’Donnell and Kelly Clark bring unparalleled experience and success in advocating for you before or against all levels of government, and with Matthew Lowe’s work on charter schools and election law, Kristian Roggendorf’s expertise in property and the initiative, the highly effective work of affiliated special counsel Eric Winters in the field of elections and ballot measures, and the expertise and tenacity of land use and property rights lawyer Dan Chandler, no one is better than we are at bringing government back to its founding ideals, or bringing government to its knees before a civil jury.

The truth is, with our expertise and toughness, you CAN fight City Hall. Or state agencies. Or the feds. And you can win.
