Defending Civil Rights In Texas And Across The Nation

A Legacy Of Justice For All

The firm’s founding partner, Jay Ellwanger, was inspired by his family’s role in the civil rights movement. His uncle, the Rev. Joe Ellwanger, led the first march of white Alabamians through the streets of Selma in support of voting rights. He participated with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in several seminal moments of the Civil Rights Movement and was sent by Dr. King to meet with President Johnson at the White House to urge passage of the Voting Rights Act. Jay Ellwanger’s father, David, also a lawyer, stood up to the KKK while a student at the University of Alabama in the late 1950s and ran for the Alabama state senate in 1966 to unseat a staunch segregationist.
