Counsel Without Compromise
At Acosta Law, we specialize in challenging cases that demand both conventional expertise and innovative legal approaches. Our practice areas reflect our commitment to defending individual rights, challenging entrenched power, and advocating for justice in its most essential forms.
Our constitutional practice stands at the vanguard of civil liberties defense, specializing in First Amendment protections, police misconduct litigation, and challenging government overreach. We have successfully argued landmark cases that have expanded free speech protections, particularly for journalists and political dissidents.
Our attorneys have a deep understanding of constitutional jurisprudence and a proven track record of innovative arguments that have reshaped the legal landscape. We believe that the Constitution is a living document that must be vigorously defended against erosion of its fundamental guarantees.
Our criminal defense practice brings the full force of our legal acumen and tenacity to bear against prosecutorial overreach. We understand that the power imbalance in criminal proceedings demands zealous representation that leaves no stone unturned in the defense of our clients.
We approach each case with a commitment to thorough investigation, creative legal strategy, and uncompromising advocacy. Our attorneys have successfully defended clients against charges ranging from minor infractions to serious felonies, often achieving dismissals, acquittals, or favorable plea agreements where conventional wisdom suggested otherwise.
Civil rights litigation has been a cornerstone of Acosta Law since our founding. We believe that the promise of equal justice requires vigilant enforcement of civil rights protections across all sectors of society, and we have committed our practice to this vital work.
Our attorneys have represented clients in groundbreaking cases challenging discrimination in employment, housing, education, and public accommodations. We have also been at the forefront of litigation addressing systemic bias in law enforcement and the criminal justice system.
Our media law practice reflects our commitment to a free and vibrant press as essential to a functioning democracy. We represent journalists, publishers, and content creators across all media platforms, defending their right to report without undue constraint or censorship.
Our work has included defending journalists against libel claims, fighting improper subpoenas seeking confidential sources, challenging prior restraint attempts, and securing access to government information through FOIA litigation. We have particular expertise in representing non-traditional and alternative media outlets that challenge established narratives.
Our intellectual property practice balances the protection of creative expression with a commitment to fair use and the public domain. We represent artists, writers, musicians, and other creators in protecting their work while also defending those who make transformative use of existing content.
We have particular expertise in cases involving parody, criticism, and other forms of commentary that challenge conventional IP interpretations. Our attorneys understand the complex intersection of intellectual property with First Amendment protections and advocate for an approach that values both creative rights and expressive freedom.
Our firm has been at the forefront of legal challenges to outdated and scientifically unsupported substance regulation. We represent clients in regulatory compliance, legislative advocacy, and impact litigation aimed at reforming controlled substance laws.
From our early work challenging the legal basis for cannabis prohibition to our current representation of entities in emerging psychedelic medicine fields, we bring both scientific rigor and constitutional principle to bear on questions of substance regulation.
