Stallsworth v. City of Livingston

United States District Court

We represented a water treatment plant operator who lost his government contract position after he wrote a letter to the newspaper editor criticizing City policy. We argued that retaliation for expressing an opinion about city policy violated the First Amendment’s free speech clause. (The mayor denied any causal link between the letter and contract termination.) We ultimately settled the case favorably.
