About Us

Attorneys for Animals (AfA) is an organization of Michigan lawyers, law school graduates, law students, certified legal assistants and others who believe the legal system is an important tool in protecting animals and bettering their lives. Founded in the early 1990s, we received our 501 (c)(3) nonprofit status in 1995. One of our first goals was to establish an Animal Law Section of the Sate Bar of Michigan, which we accomplished in 1995. Michigan’s was the first state-wide Animal Law Section.

AfA is a nonprofit 501 (c)(3) corporation funded through membership dues, grants and donations, and in 2020 we are celebrating our 25th anniversary.

We serve as an informal clearinghouse for attorneys interested in taking animal law cases and maintain an informal referral list of attorneys who specialize in animal-related legal issues. We assist state and particularly local government units in drafting and revising animal laws, rules and ordinances, and we help guide lawmakers through the often confusing and contentious areas of animal-related legislation. We provide funding of causes and organizations which will improve animal life and welfare in Michigan.

We have…

Provided financial assistance in litigation of:

  • Seeking non-economic damages for the death of a companion animal
  • Assisting a dog on “death-row”

Provided funding for:

  • Dogs Deserve Better (DDB), one of three billboards in southwest Michigan during May 2008 (please see  www.dogsdeservebetter.org)
  • CAHS cruelty investigators to attend out-of-state training seminars
  • A public service announcement warning of the dangers of children abusing animals
  • A compilation of local animal ordinances in order to develop a model ordinance

Recognized Animal Heroes, including:

  • A Deputy Sheriff who dove into icy water to rescue a dog
  • Wildlife rehabilitators who faced hostile neighbors
