In 2024 alone, the firms collectively donated $4M to political campaigns, 99% of which were for Democrat candidates or Democrat-allied committees
One of the country’s leading consumer protection firms released a report today exposing a “shady lawyer pipeline” of politicians handing out lucrative public contracts to trial lawyers, who in turn contribute millions of dollars to liberal political campaigns, including $1.4 million to the Harris-Walz campaign in 2024.
The report, released by Alliance for Consumers (AFC), highlights the deep Democratic ties of eight major consumer protection law firms — Morgan & Morgan, Lieff Cabraser, Motley Rice, Baron & Budd, Grant & Eisenhofer, Berger Montague, Cohen Milstein and Simmons Hanly — which it dubs the “Shady Eight.”
According to AFC, these firms hold profitable public contracts across the country and contributed around $25 million in political donations from 2017 through 2024.
