What is a Civil Rights Violation?
A civil rights violation occurs when an individual’s legally protected rights are infringed upon by the government, employers, or other entities. These violations can range from excessive force by police officers to wrongful termination due to discrimination.
Our firm represents individuals in civil rights lawsuits against government agencies, law enforcement, public officials, and private entities. We pursue justice for those whose constitutional rights have been unlawfully restricted or denied.
