What FormerFedsGroup Freedom Foundation 501c3 does

FormerFedsGroup Freedom Foundation 501c3, operating as Former Feds Group, is an independent legal services firm specializing in federal enforcement defense. Founded and led by Bradford L. Geyer — a former Senior Trial Attorney in the U.S. Department of Justice's Antitrust Division and a founding member of DOJ's National Procurement Fraud Task Force with 33+ years of federal experience — the firm represents individuals and organizations facing high-stakes federal investigations, prosecutions, and asset seizures. Its target clients are constituencies that traditional law firms tend to overlook, including high-net-worth individuals and entrepreneurs, federal contractors and businesses, professionals facing whistleblower retaliation or scientific integrity challenges, and individuals with federal convictions seeking post-plea relief. The firm operates nationwide from its Cinnaminson, New Jersey headquarters, collaborating with local counsel across multiple jurisdictions.

The firm's offering is a portfolio of six specialized legal services: Strategic Federal Defense (DOJ, SEC, and FinCEN enforcement; financial crimes; January 6 and protest-related charges; parallel civil/criminal matters); Asset Forfeiture & Restitution (challenging civil and criminal seizures, including pretrial crypto wallet seizures, sealed forfeiture filings, and motions for return of property); Post-Plea Relief & Sentencing (challenging convictions allegedly tainted by misconduct, discovery violations, or inaccurate sentencing data); Risk Mitigation & Self-Disclosure (presidential pardons, FCPA compliance, AML and procurement fraud consulting, whistleblower protection); U.S. Mint Litigation (national class and individual actions seeking restitution for improper coin seizures based on challenged forensic methods); and Scientific Integrity & Whistleblower defense. The firm has no technology platform, software products, or proprietary AI/ML systems; all services are manual professional legal work delivered by attorneys. Revenue is generated solely through professional services fees for client representation, with pricing quote-based and contingent on confidential case review.

Go-to-market is sales-led direct acquisition: confidential case review requests are submitted via the website contact form, phone (+1 856-607-5708), or email ([email protected]), with the firm pledging to respond within one business day. Marketing is content-driven through the "Enforcement Trends" blog, case studies, amicus briefs, and white papers, supplemented by active social media presence on X (Twitter) via @formerfeds and @bradgeyer. Brand visibility has been amplified by feature placement in two documentary productions — Broken Truth and The Trials of Joby Weeks — both exploring DOJ enforcement overreach. The firm is founder-owned and bootstrapped, with no external institutional investment, parent company, or subsidiary structure disclosed.
