Kirton McConkie First Amendment and Religious Organizations Legal Services in Boise, Idaho
Drafted and adopted in 1791, the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects many of our rights as Americans, such as freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of religion. Also included in the First Amendment is the right to peacefully protest and petition the government. As you can see, the rights guaranteed by the First Amendment are quite broad, so there can be many reasons why a citizen must hire an attorney who specializes in First Amendment issues. At Kirton McConkie, we proudly offer exceptional First Amendment services to residents in Boise, Idaho, and beyond. Let’s learn more about what First Amendment attorneys do and how our legal services can help you.
