New Law Firm to Defend Those 'Unjustly Targeted' by Trump

Not long after President Donald Trump's resurgence in office, during which he initiated actions against various organizations and legal firms that opposed his agenda, a seasoned attorney from Washington D.C. has launched a new law firm. The firm aims to advocate for individuals who Attorney Abbe Lowell claims have been 'unfairly and wrongfully targeted' by the Trump administration.

Abbe Lowell, renowned for representing notable personalities like Jared Kushner, has announced his new enterprise, Lowell & Associates. The firm promises to offer legal assistance and advice to both individuals and entities embroiled in politically charged inquiries or civil litigations, according to a release that publicized the initiative.

A Fresh Approach for Challenging Times

"Our firm is designed to meet the needs of today's evolving legal climate, streamlining operations beyond what larger practices can offer," remarked Lowell. "Having begun my career with my own private practice, I'm thrilled to lead a compact team once more, ready to serve companies, nonprofits, and individuals with our seasoned expertise and commitment."

The clientele of Lowell's firm includes several who have found themselves the focus of executive mandates or actions under Trump's regime.

Noteworthy Clients and Controversies

Among the firm’s clients is Mark Zaid, a lawyer known for his work with whistleblowers, and Letitia James, the New York Attorney General who successfully prosecuted Trump and his organization, winning a significant fraud case. Following Trump's induction as President, James was recommended for investigation over alleged mortgage misconduct, accusations she steadfastly refutes.

A representative for James conveyed to ABC News, "Attorney General James is resolute in safeguarding New Yorkers, resisting as this Administration tries to distort the federal apparatus to undermine the law and the Constitution. She refuses to be cowed by intimidation—regardless of the source."

Lowell’s practice is also advising Miles Taylor, a former Trump administration official who penned the 2018 'Anonymous' commentary in The New York Times and authored a publication about his tenure with Trump. In response, Trump labeled Taylor a 'traitor' and issued a directive to have his security privileges withdrawn, ordering actions from the Department of Justice.

A Team Built for Advocacy

Joining Lowell is Brenna Trout Frey, an attorney who caught the public's eye for resigning from Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom following their massive settlement with Trump to avoid being targeted. Frey emphasizes, "Our mission is not to make declarations. We’re focused on litigating to victory and reinforcing the legal frameworks that sustain our democracy."

David Kolansky also collaborates with Lowell, having worked alongside him in representing individuals such as Matthew Grimes in significant legal proceedings. Together, they bring extensive experience, having previously worked on matters involving notable connections to Trump.
