ABOUT OUR FIRM
Ibis & Rooster is a law and consulting firm led by a jurist and political economist, dedicated to protecting rights, designing justice, and advancing civic integrity. Our work unites legal representation, governance consulting, and strategic education to serve individuals, institutions, and communities with innovation, integrity, and actionable insight.
We believe that intellect without principle is incomplete. Our approach is defined by clarity of thought, disciplined advocacy, and a commitment to the dignity of every person and organization we serve. Through rigorous analysis and empathetic counsel, we help clients make confident decisions that honor both their immediate needs and their enduring responsibilities.
“Nunquam Non Paratus” — Never Unprepared.
This motto captures our philosophy: readiness is not just preparation, but purpose. Every case, consultation, and collaboration is an opportunity to align jurisprudence, policy, and practice toward stronger institutions and more equitable outcomes.
At Ibis & Rooster, we see law and governance not as separate disciplines, but as complementary instruments for sustaining liberty, accountability, and community.

By Appointment
"A lawyer’s either a social engineer or … a parasite on society … A social engineer [is] a highly skilled, perceptive, sensitive lawyer who [understands] the Constitution of the United States and [knows] how to explore its uses in the solving of problems of local communities and in bettering conditions of the underprivileged citizens."
— Charles Hamilton Houston
