When people hear that O’Keefe Law represents police officers in legal disputes, a common misconception quickly follows: “You go after cops?” The reality couldn’t be more different.
At O’Keefe Law, we do not go after good police officers. In fact, we defend them—especially when they’re being wrongfully targeted by corrupt public officials and state agencies trying to rewrite the narrative.
The Truth About Public Corruption Cases
Our focus is on rooting out corruption at the highest levels of government—the kind that undermines public trust, punishes honest officers, and protects personal power instead of public safety.
We’re seeing a dangerous pattern in law enforcement across Michigan and beyond: departments and state officials are overcorrecting for past misconduct—not by holding individuals accountable, but by sacrificing good officers in the name of optics and political protection.
Remembering the Past, But Fighting for the Present
We all remember the horrifying cases of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, and we do not ignore them. Those were tragic examples of actual police misconduct, and justice was demanded.
But what about the officers who are doing things the right way—those who serve with honor, follow procedure, and respect the public?
Too often now, these officers are being scapegoated to show that an agency is “doing something” to fix systemic issues. They’re being investigated, disciplined, and even criminally charged not because they broke the law—but because it’s politically convenient.
Our Mission: Protecting Those Who Protect Us
At O’Keefe Law, we are proud to represent troopers and officers who just want to do their job—to protect you and me—without fear of retaliation from state officials with personal agendas.
The corruption we fight isn’t just internal politics. It’s about:
- Officials enriching themselves and their allies
- Departments abusing authority to silence dissent
- A legal system being weaponized against those who dare to hold powerful people accountable
We’re here to expose that corruption, and we consider it a public service to defend those who’ve been wrongfully targeted.
Standing With Integrity
Our clients—the men and women in uniform—aren’t asking for special treatment. They’re asking for fairness, for due process, and for the ability to serve their communities without fear of being punished for doing the right thing.
So when you see O’Keefe Law in court fighting on behalf of law enforcement, understand this:
We’re not taking on the police.
We’re taking on the corrupt systems trying to break them.
