Michele Earl-Hubbard is the President of Allied Law Group in Seattle, WA, and the current Vice President of the Washington Coalition for Open Government. Michele has been litigating public records (PRA) matters, and helping clients make effective requests, since 1996.  She has brought and won many of the landmark cases in Washington State related to the PRA including

• Bellevue John Does v. Bellevue School District enforcing rights of access to records of misconduct by public school teachers,
• O’Neill v. Shoreline confirming the right to metadata and original versions of records in their native electronic form,
• Associated Press v. Washington State Legislature confirming State Senators and Representatives are subject to the PRA the same as every other state and local official, and
• Nissen v. Pierce County confirming text and email messages of officials and public employees on personal devices or personal accounts are public records when sent or received within their scope of employment.

Michele is also the mother of three daughters who have gone, or are still going, through the public school system, and has helped many parents over the years access records to monitor their child’s School District. She is also the 2024 Best Lawyers Lawyer of the Year for First Amendment Law for the Seattle metropolitan area.
