Civil Rights Law

Civil rights law exists to hold power accountable when it fails the people it's meant to serve, and pursuing that accountability requires both a firm grasp of constitutional protections and the persistence to see a case through. Our civil rights practice represents individuals whose fundamental rights have been violated, working to secure justice and, where possible, meaningful change.

We regularly handle matters involving discrimination, including claims based on race, gender, age, disability, and other protected characteristics in employment, housing, and public accommodations. Our approach centers on building a thorough record early, since these cases often turn on evidence that must be preserved and documented before it disappears.

Police misconduct and excessive force cases are a significant part of our work, including claims arising from wrongful arrest, unlawful search and seizure, and violations of due process. We work to hold individual officers and institutions accountable while pursuing the compensation our clients are owed for what they've endured.

We also advise on First Amendment matters, including free speech and religious freedom claims, as well as whistleblower protections for individuals who face retaliation for reporting misconduct. Our goal is to give clients a clear-eyed view of their options and stand behind them through every stage of the process.

When civil rights violations require litigation, our firm brings the resolve these cases demand, whether that means negotiating a resolution or taking a matter to trial, always working to protect our clients' rights and hold the responsible parties accountable.
