Activist Legal Support
With press freedom under attack, news publications and journalists often find themselves in need of legal guidance when they receive leaked information that may not have been legally obtained by the source. Whistleblowers and those contemplating becoming a whistleblower need to understand the statutory framework that they are hoping will protect them. Hrbek Law provides legal support to journalists and publishers on press freedom issues, whistleblower protection laws, and First Amendment matters. Hrbek Law acts as a media lawyer for WikiLeaks journalists, and Deborah Hrbek has frequently spoken publicly in support of Julian Assange - who is finally free!
