Have Your Civil Rights Been Violated? Get A Fierce Advocate On Your Side.

A strong focus at [nap_names id=”FIRM-NAME-3″], is the protection of people’s rights. We often find ourselves advocating for disadvantaged and underrepresented populations. Sometimes, standing up for our clients means defending them against criminal charges. At other times, it means bringing civil rights claims against individuals or organizations that have attempted to deny our clients their civil rights, including:

  • Freedom of speech and freedom of the press
  • Freedom from searches without probable cause
  • Freedom to remain silent as the police or other officials seek to interrogate you

Have you been a target of racial injustice or police misconduct? Let us evaluate the facts to determine whether your state or federal civil rights have been violated.

Making Sense Of Things That Seem To Make No Sense

You may be unsure about whether the mistreatment that you experienced from the police or workers at a bank amounted to a violation of your civil rights. Perhaps you were arrested for an alleged crime but the police used illegal search and seizure tactics to reach the point of the arrest. Our experienced lawyers can address both aspects of your case — criminal defense and civil rights violations claims — simultaneously. The two often go hand in hand. In addition to helping you protect your freedom and good name, we may be able to help you bring about justice through a civil rights claim or lawsuit.

You were born to be victorious. Let us fight for your cause together.

Even when the facts are egregious, we do not recommend reporting civil rights violations to government agencies without first getting legal counsel. It is best to explore your case with the help of an experienced attorney to determine your best course of action.
