Partner David Perez was quoted in “Federal Judge Holds Seattle Police Department in Contempt for Use of Pepper Spray, Blast Balls During Black Lives Matter Protests,” an article in The Seattle Times, regarding this fall’s Black Lives Matter protests in Seattle.

David Perez said the decision to seek a contempt finding was not made lightly.

“But after witnessing repeated and blatant violations of protesters’ constitutional rights, we had to act,” he said. “This ruling … serves as a reminder that the City cannot violate the Court’s orders without consequences.”
