Advocates for Faith & Freedom

What Advocates for Faith & Freedom does

Advocates for Faith & Freedom is a 501(c)(3) non-profit law firm founded in 2005 and headquartered in Murrieta, California. The organization provides free legal representation to individuals, churches, religious institutions, parents, and other entities whose constitutional rights have been infringed, with a substantive focus on religious liberty, free speech, parental rights, election integrity, and the rights of children. Its leadership team is led by President and Chief Counsel Robert Tyler, supported by Vice Presidents Joel Oster (trial litigation) and Erin Mersino (Supreme Court and appellate litigation), with an additional Senior Legal Counsel (Julianne Fleischer) who departed in 2026 to join the U.S. Department of Justice.

The firm's core product is litigation and appellate advocacy services rather than a software platform; the website and case intake forms serve as the primary client- and donor-acquisition surface. Active matters disclosed on the public docket include COVID-19 vaccine mandate and religious-accommodation suits against employers and public agencies (Cerner, Kaiser, Goleta Water District), challenges to state restrictions on worship (Calvary Chapel San Jose pending before SCOTUS, Godspeak Church, Word Aflame Ministries), parental rights and school-policy litigation (CVUSD prayer restoration, Tapia teacher termination, post-SCOTUS parental notification cases), and challenges to California statutes including SB 277 and CDSS funding decisions. Resource verticals such as Opt-Out Forms, Teachers Don't Lie, Save Girls' Sports, and a Speaker Request program extend the organization's reach beyond active litigation.

The business model is donation-funded rather than fee-based: the firm serves qualifying clients at no charge and relies on contributions to cover court filing fees, legal research, and operational costs. Marketing is conducted through owned content (website, newsletter), organic social (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, X), earned media via press releases, and a speaker bureau, with a California-centric operational footprint. The organization reports 3 Supreme Court victories, 65,000+ people served, and 100+ years of combined attorney experience as its principal credibility markers.
