History

Alexander & Catalano was founded in 1995.[1]

The law firm was known for their

US District Court charging that the new rules violated the firm's First Amendment rights.[3][4] Senior US District Court Judge Frederick Scullin ruled that certain provisions of the new rules, including prohibiting the use of nicknames in advertising, did indeed violate their First Amendment right to freedom of speech.[4][5]

In November 2019, the two partners dissolved amicably over a difference of opinion regarding the firm's direction.
