(Philadelphia) – Brian J. McMonagle of McMonagle Perri McHugh Mischak Davis and president of the Pennsylvania Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (PACDL), penned a message of support in the March 2025 issue of For the Defense to the Department of Justice attorneys and federal agents who are facing the loss of their jobs over their involvement in the January 6 attacks on our nation’s Capitol.
“I have always had great respect for these worthy adversaries and dedicated public servants who protect and serve our nation and our communities,” he wrote. “Many of our trial opponents in the Department of Justice have dedicated their entire careers to investigating and prosecuting criminal conduct in this nation. FBI agents are willing to risk their lives in defense of others, and some have lost their lives in the line of duty,” McMonagle continued. “During the aftermath of 9/11, the days following the Boston Marathon bombing, and in every domestic terrorist attack on American soil, it is these men and women who pursue those who threaten our democracy.”
In closing, McMonagle reiterated the PACDL’s support for those affected. “We stand in solidarity with our colleagues across the aisle and their families as they endure this unprecedented threat to their careers, and to the integrity of the criminal justice system.”
The PACDL, founded in 1988, provides educational, advocacy and networking opportunities to their close to 1000 members, whose practices are dedicated to ensuring equal justice under the law and protecting individual freedoms.
