from Assembly Line Justice

Who We Are

Fairness. Equity. Justice

These are the pillars of the American justice system. At least, that’s what we’ve all been told since right about the time we could understand language.

From our very first days of school we were trained to pledge allegiance, trust the system, and swallow the mythology of American exceptionalism. A government for the people, by the people.

But we can’t unsee what is happening right out in the open:

Government agents cosplaying as soldiers, hiding behind masks as they snatch mothers and fathers off the street to disappear them into for-profit detention centers. Cops shooting first and asking questions never knowing the entire system will rally around them to keep them on the streets and punish the people who try to hold them accountable. Legislators taking lunches from schoolkids and healthcare from millions of families to transfer even more wealth to the billionaire class. Your tax dollars sent to a racist regime in Israel to fund the mass murder of an entire people and engineer a massive land theft.

People

And it’s not just the government. The most viscerally corrupt, extractive exploiters of ordinary working people don’t wear uniforms; they wear logos. Big Pharma. Big Healthcare. Big Insurance. The faceless corporate predators who answer to no one but their endless greed and obsession with profit.

Don’t be mistaken. These forces don’t just influence the system. They own it. They built the system it for themselves, not for you.

And the hardest part of fighting back isn’t standing up to them. 
It’s finding people you can trust to stand with you

Because of the 1.3 million active lawyers in the United States of America, few seem willing to even acknowledge the dirtiest secret of all: The lawyers claiming to have your back are often just another spoke on the wheel.

The big law firms who are easiest to find the ones on the billboards, the Instagram ads, the top of your search results?  They aren’t fighting the machine with you. They’re part of the machine.  They’re just another gear grinding out quick settlements and big profits for their own executives.

This isn’t justice.
It isn’t civil. 

And it damn sure isn’t for the people.

Enter The People’s Law Firm.

We’re not just a law firm. We’re a movement: A collective of trial-tested lawyers, truthseekers, and flat-out pissed-off Americans who won’t accept the scraps of the elite just because oppression is the only item left on the menu.

We aren’t just a group of professionals. We’re a rebellion against an out-of-control system that fetishizes greed and power and isn’t even pretending to give a shit about ordinary people anymore.

And we’ve spent years mapping out the corridors where corruption lives. We know the dark corners where justice dies, and the playbook the powerful use to kill it. And our mission is to beat it…over and over and over again.

People-based representation

Home Image

We first got our start in 2014, working to hold police departments accountable when no one else would. And we didn’t stop there.

Because injustice doesn’t always come with badge. Sometimes it comes with a title. A board room. A corporate letterhead. And expensive Super Bowl ads trying to personalize companies that worship money and have made a business out of screwing over people who don’t know better.

Because whether you’re up against Big Government or Big Insurance, you deserve a legal team that understands that the system is rigged–and knows how to beat it anyway.

We got sick of their system.
 So we created one of our own.

One built to fight back.

You don’t survive a decade battling Goliath without a strategy. Especially when you’re outmanned, out-resourced, and bullied at every turn. So, at The PLF, we’ve had to be smart. Which means doing three things, every single time for every single client:

We call it “People-Based Representation.” Not a gimmick. Not a tagline.  A revolution in how law should be practiced.

And the fact that it isn’t? That’s exactly why we exist.

ABOUT STEVE

Hi, I’m

STEVE.

That big headline might make me look important. Don’t be fooled.

Anyone close to me can tell you that I’m a deeply flawed person. I talk too fast, curse too much, and don’t call my parents nearly enough. I forget birthdays, suck at small talk, and often need reminders to return texts. I can get so caught up in my work that
I fail to make time for the people who I love the most.

Take me to a fancy restaurant and I’ll order the burger, drink my beer straight from the bottle, and probably wipe my mouth with
the back of my hand at least once. I’m not polished. Not perfect. And I’m certainly no hero. But after 25 years of working in the law,
it turns out there is one thing that I’m freakishly good at:

I can see how power moves, sniff out the bullshit that shields it, and engineer surgical strategies to take it down.

That vision – strategic, creative, and relentless – is what gave rise to The People’s Law Firm. But I didn’t build this place to chase class-action settlements or stack profits. I built it to challenge power, expose corruption, and to secure wins for people the system was never designed to serve.

FIGHTING THE SYSTEM,

IN COURT AND OUT.

The PLF was built to take on power and win, It’s something that only a tiny fraction of law firms in the country really understand. And that’s why we focus on two areas:

Civil Rights. Injury Rights.

Because if you’re serious about winning in a system meant
to break you, you dig in and specialize.   

CIVIL RIGHTS

The Constitution says that your civil rights are inherent, and prevents the government from infringing on them.  But today’s government? They’ll violate your rights at will, gaslight you and deny your reality, and then laugh as you try to hold them accountable.  Which is exactly why you need a law firm like us backing your play.

Police Brutality
Police Brutality

When protectors become predators, good people can’t simply look away. These are the cases The PLF was built for. Because we believe that, win or lose, grieving families deserve answers–and no one is above the law. 

First Amendment Retaliation
First Amendment Retaliation

Nothing is more fundamental than your right to express your opinion. No one has spent more time in the trenches defending the rights of protestors in the last five years.  

False Imprisonment / Malicious Prosecution
False Imprisonment / Malicious Prosecution

Cops aren’t above the law. They are sworn to enforce the law, not re-invent it to fit their motives. The Bill of Rights guarantees your right to be free from arrest without a warrant or probable cause. When police violate those rights, they have to answer to us.

INJURY RIGHTS

The industry calls these “personal injury” cases. Bullshit:  Your injury isn’t just personal; it’s communal. Reckless drivers, greedy corporations, and feet-dragging insurance companies are a threat to all of us. You have a right to be safe in your own body. When that’s violated, we’re all impacted–and we go to battle for you.

Motor Vehicle Crashes
Motor Vehicle Crashes

Know why every billboard on every highway in America seems to have another lawyer’s phony smile? Or why some law firms spend so much effort trying to cram their idiotic jingles, slogans, and phone numbers into your brain? Because your pain is big business. Insurance companies, medical providers, and lawyers all stand to make lots of money from your misfortune. Which means that, when you get injured, you become a walking ATM machine. To us, you’re more than that–and your case is the next battleground for our war on a corrupt system.

Insurance Bad Faith
Insurance Bad Faith

 Insurance companies have a legal duty to treat their clients fairly. That means investigating claims properly and making reasonable settlement offers. When they don’t? That’s called “bad faith.” Shockingly, most personal injury lawyers don’t know how to actually sue (and beat) insurance companies. We do. And this is what separates the firms that take quick settlements from the ones that change lives.

Consumer Rights and Mass Torts
Consumer Rights and Mass Torts

Faulty and defective products. Deceptive and fraudulent marketing practices. Dangerous conditions in commercial buildings that cause injuries. Big corporations have been allowed to do whatever they want in America for far too long. We’re saying enough. When a business puts profits over safety and someone gets hurt, we hold them accountable.  And these cases don’t simply get our clients paid; they make our communities safer.

Our clients don’t just watch the news; they make it.

“My needs were put first, my opinions were valued and my doubts were always reassured.”

I was represented better than I could have ever imagined. My needs were put first, and my opinions were valued and my doubts were always reassured. My nerves were calmed and the process was always explained. Steven Benedetto fought hard for me. He went above and beyond and did everything he could to ensure a great outcome. I couldn't have asked for a better law firm or attorney. A huge thank you to "The People's Law Firm" Team, you far above your peers and I could not have settled my case without you.

“I couldn't have made it through that stressful time in my life without their experience and reassurance.”

Steve gave me confidence and peace of mind during an incredibly hectic time in my life. He came highly recommended by another attorney and it was the best decision I could have made. Steve did such a wonderful job handling the case that he was the first person I thought of again 4 years later to handle an additional case. He made sure that I understood every little detail that was going on and always made me feel well prepared. I couldn't have made it through that stressful time in my life without his experience and reassurance.
