[Civil Rights]
We're Here to Help
Our civil and constitutional rights have been eroding in the last 30 years and we are therefore determined to represent people whose rights have been trampled, including persons victimized by racial and national origin discrimination, sexual harassment, age and disability discrimination, religious discrimination, and First Amendment violations. The rights of the state (including local governments) have increased at the expense of individual liberties and we are especially interested in advocating for individuals who have been grievously wronged by governmental misconduct and abuse of power.
We represent plaintiffs in various civil rights matters including:
Police brutality and excessive force
Unconstitutional treatment in jail and prisons, including deliberate indifference to medical needs and cruel and unusual punishment
Discrimination or harassment on the basis of race, sex, age, disability, national origin, sexual orientation, or gender identity
Discrimination and retaliation in employment
Discrimination, including racial prejudices in public accommodations such as restaurants, hotels, and other businesses

FAQ:
Have I got a case?
Let’s talk about it. Telephone our office to speak with a personal injury specialist.
How much will it cost me to bring a claim?
In most cases you will pay nothing at all whether your case is successful or not.
Is there a time limit?
Yes. In cases involving auto accidents, usually three years. For all others, usually two years. However, there are exceptions so now is the best time to act.
What are the exceptions?
In high risk or complex cases we may agree with you from the outset that a success fee of up to 25% may be charged. This will not be payable if your claim is unsuccessful.
Will I have to go to court?
Probably not. Most cases settle. We often need to issue court proceeding to move matters along but it is rare for a case to go all the way to trial.
