Types of Civil Rights Cases We Handle
Police Excessive Force
When law enforcement uses unreasonable or unnecessary force, we hold them accountable. This includes cases involving physical violence, tasers, firearms, and other use of force that exceeds what is legally justified.
Wrongful Arrest & Detention
Arrests must be supported by probable cause. When police arrest someone without justification or continue detention beyond what is reasonable, we pursue claims for false arrest and imprisonment.
Constitutional Violations
The Constitution protects fundamental rights including free speech, freedom from unreasonable search and seizure, and due process. We fight violations of these basic protections.
Discrimination by Government
Government officials cannot discriminate based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or other protected characteristics. We pursue equal protection claims when discrimination occurs.
