Emord & Associates
Constitutional and Administrative Law

Our Practice:

Emord & Associates’ food and drug lawyers provide comprehensive representation for food, drug, dietary supplement, over-the-counter drug and drug companies, pharmacies, medical practitioners, and scientists.  Our lawyers represent clients:

 

Guarding the Constitution:

When the scales of justice tilt in the direction of less freedom, when judicial decisions condone changes in the law that sacrifice liberty, the Constitution is in effect held hostage in time.  It is denied its intended meaning until the moment arrives when an artful advocate or judge exercises the power of persuasion® to return the law to its constitutional moorings.  Without skillful advocacy in defense of liberty, the precious freedoms we hold dear would fall prey to insidious government encroachment.  The highest calling of the legal profession is to guard the Constitution against such encroachments and thereby preserve our rich legacy of freedom for future generations.  

Experience Leads the Way:

Emord & Associates is a national AV-rated law firm (Martindale-Hubbell organization) comprised of experienced litigators and negotiators who represent clients in regulatory compliance matters, rulemakings, negotiations with federal agencies, appeals from agency actions, enforcement actions, intellectual property disputes, and general civil litigation. Since 1985, Jonathan Emord has appeared before federal courts and agencies, frequently on behalf of clients who seek a lessening or an elimination of regulatory constraints that deny them basic rights to liberty or property. The firm is dedicated to providing its clients with the highest quality representation, to keeping its clients fully informed of all lawful options and of comparative levels of risk, to providing solutions to complex issues of law, and to fighting tenaciously to achieve just results.

Lawyers with Integrity - Making a Difference:

Effective legal representation depends on an agile mind, an ability to perceive options and possibilities where others cannot, unimpeachable integrity, and the persuasive power of the pen and the spoken word. Few possess all of those attributes and skills, but those who do have a profound impact. The attorneys at Emord & Associates mean to make a difference for the betterment of our clients and for the world, and we thank our clients for giving us the opportunity to make that difference.

The Economic Health of the Health Care Industry

(June 18, 2010)

(HealthNewsDigest.com) - Among its many harmful effects, the new health reform law will significantly worsen a doctor shortage in America. Without the bill, the United States will be short by an estimated 85,000 to 200,000 doctors by 2020. Retiring baby boomer physicians are not being replaced in sufficient numbers to meet demand anticipated before the bill’s passage, let alone the enormous increase in demand generated by the new law.  Read more.

Victory in Selenium Health Claims Case

(May 27, 2010)

Emord & Associates’ attorneys have defeated the Food and Drug Administration in Alliance for Natural Health v. Sebelius before the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.  The decision issued on May 27, 2010 upsets FDA’s attempt to overturn the six prior decisions the firm has won against the agency censorship of health claims.  It reaffirms that FDA is subject to the strictures of First Amendment law in its evaluation of health claims and it faults FDA for failing to follow that standard, holding its suppression of the selenium-cancer risk reduction claims unconstitutional.  Read the Decision.
