Mountain States Legal Foundation is a non-profit law firm, dedicated to restoring those rights enshrined in the Constitution, at zero legal cost to our clients. MSLF is focused on protecting property rights and economic liberty, defending the right to keep and bear arms, championing free speech and association, and upholding the principle of equal protection. From our headquarters in Colorado, we litigate crucial cases across the nation at every level—even all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States.

The federal government owns a third of all land in America, and nearly half in the west alone. Upwards of 4,000 national regulations are implemented by unelected officials each year, and affect the everyday moments of citizens’ lives. State and local governments are relentless in their efforts to squash the Second Amendment rights of peaceable gun owners. Every day it becomes harder and harder to speak your mind without the retaliation of some government commission.

Everywhere you look today, our liberty is under attack. Big government agencies, well-funded special interest groups, and unaccountable bureaucrats will never stop in their quest to increase their power and diminish the personal freedom of Americans. It is MSLF’s purpose to reestablish the founding principles of this nation and fight in the courts for those ideals of liberty essential to a free country and free people.

Our brave clients, and their just lawsuits, establish legal precedents to benefit all who love freedom. Here are just a few of our clients: 

• Andrew Brigida, whose dreams of being an air traffic controller were dashed by the Federal Aviation Administration’s decision to hire based on race;

• Jennifer VanDerStok, who is fighting the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and its Final Rule to redefine “firearms” to undermine the right of manufacturing your own tools of self-defense;

• Paul Nettleton and other Idaho ranchers, who are fighting the Department of the Interior (DOI) on their illicit claims to water rights in the state; and

• The Longwell Family, whose property was snatched illicitly by the DOI. The judge has ruled in favor of the Longwells, but radical environmental groups will appeal.

You have heard of our clients on Fox News, in The Wall Street JournalUSA Today and elsewhere. While that is gratifying, it will not help fight government agencies, their hundreds of lawyers, and their big city law firms. For that we rely on the generous support of thousands of freedom loving Americans like you. 

Our vision of America is that of a shining city on a hill, where opportunity and liberty go on without end.

Freedom is our common inheritance, passed down to us from the Founding Fathers. As defenders of the Constitution, it is our purpose to do all we can to preserve that freedom from generation to generation.
