Civil rights laws apply broadly and safeguard our core democratic principles. They include the right to free speech, due process, freedom from criminal misconduct and cruel and unusual punishment, the right to vote, and protection from discrimination. When an individual’s civil rights are violated, the impact can be devastating. Whether your free speech rights were violated or you were a victim of government overreach, experienced discrimination, or suffered other abuses of power, you need a powerful advocate who will fight to protect your dignity and win your case.

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” ~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Civil rights are the bedrock of our democracy, and a violation of one person’s civil rights is an affront to us all. Each civil rights case is part of a larger movement to ensure that other people will not suffer the same injustices in the future. These cases are never easy, and they demand courage, skill, and experience to analyze the complexities of the law while facing opposition from well-funded defendants.
