Law Firm Overview

We built our firm and we pick our cases to achieve justice. We take on a case only if it fits with our sense of righting a wrong.

We focus on protecting constitutional and civil rights and whistleblowers and we currently have an eclectic mix of cases involving wrongful convictions, police brutality, excessive force, unjustified police shootings, False Claims Act/qui tam statutes, unlawful arrests, class actions, illegal searches and Fourth Amendment violations, employment discrimination,, and First Amendment violations. Each of our cases makes a fascinating story.

HISTORY OF THE FIRM

Jon Loevy started the firm in 1997 after leaving the international law firm Sidley & Austin. Since founding the firm, Jon has been joined in the partnership by his wife, Danielle Loevy; Arthur Loevy, who graduated from the University of Michigan Law School; and Mike Kanovitz, a Cornell Law School graduate who joined the firm after practicing at a class action law firm in Washington, D.C. Today, Jon Loevy and Mr. Kanovitz are widely recognized as among the nation's leading civil rights attorneys because of their accomplishments as trial attorneys, having won multiple jury verdicts of more than $1 million. Since 2008 alone, Mr. Loevy and Mr. Kanovitz have secured jury verdicts of $21 million, $16 million, and victory for a class of more than 100,000 people.
