We’re not afraid of a fight.

No matter how powerful the adversary or how tough the battle, we are ready to handle your emergency.

Who We Are

At Lee & Godshall-Bennett LLP, we believe defending clients from the unprecedented threat to democracy requires an aggressive and uncompromising new approach. There is nothing normal or routine about practicing law in times like ours. Today, protecting individuals from the increasing lawlessness of official institutions requires agility, imagination, and nerves of steel.

We are well-tested, trained under fire, thrive in emergency situations, and have experience leading high-stakes federal litigation at every level of the legal system, no matter how powerful the adversary or how steep the odds.
