Our story, mission, and the values that drive everything we do.
Founded in 2006 in Las Vegas, Nevada, Liberty Shield Legal began with a single purpose: to give individuals and small businesses the same level of legal firepower that was previously available only to large corporations.
Over nearly two decades, we have grown into one of the Southwest's most respected consumer protection and civil litigation practices — handling everything from predatory lending cases to complex class actions and federal regulatory matters.
Our team of four expert attorneys brings over 55 combined years of experience, a track record of more than 500 won cases, and an unwavering commitment to every client we represent.
We started this firm because we believed that access to aggressive, skilled legal representation should not be limited to those who can afford to fight. Twenty years later, that belief still drives every decision we make.
— Michael Thompson, Senior Counsel & Co-FounderWe tell clients the truth — including when it's not what they want to hear. Our reputation is built on honest counsel, not false promises.
We do not settle for less when more is warranted. Our attorneys fight until every legal avenue has been exhausted on behalf of our clients.
Our bilingual team ensures that language is never a barrier to justice. We serve the full diversity of our community with equal dedication.
We hold ourselves to the highest standards of legal practice — in our research, our writing, our strategy, and our courtroom performance.
Michael Thompson and a small team of consumer advocates opened Liberty Shield Legal with a focus on FTC compliance and predatory lending defense.

The addition of Carlos Ramirez expanded our consumer protection practice to state and federal courts across the entire Southwest region.
Emily Johnson joined to establish our corporate and business law practice, helping small and mid-size companies navigate compliance and growth challenges.
Liberty Shield Legal celebrated its 500th successful case outcome — a milestone that represents hundreds of individuals and families whose rights we protected.
Maria Gonzalez strengthened our bilingual litigation capabilities, allowing us to serve a broader client base throughout Nevada and Arizona.
We mark two decades of advocacy with a renewed commitment to consumer protection and a growing team ready to face the legal challenges of the next era.
Our practice is closely aligned with the mission of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection — stopping deceptive, unfair, and fraudulent business practices that harm American consumers. We bring that same standard to every case we take, and we stay current with federal enforcement priorities to give our clients the most effective representation available.
Our mission is to provide aggressive, principled, and accessible legal representation to consumers, individuals, and businesses who need it most. We exist to level the playing field — to stand between our clients and those with the power and resources to exploit them.
We envision a legal landscape where every individual — regardless of income or background — has access to top-tier legal counsel. Liberty Shield Legal aims to expand that access across the Western United States, growing our team and deepening our impact with every case we take.
