Civil Rights/Civil Liberties

The Firm’s civil rights and liberties practice works to prevent and enforce a range of federal and state constitutional rights ranging from free speech, commercial speech, education, due process of law, equal treatment, and privacy. The Firm works with individuals, non-profit organizations, and businesses to educate people about the scope of their rights and remedies. The abuse of governmental authority and excessive police power has escalated in recent years. The Firm has obtained injunctions, judgments and settlements against governmental authorities when these excesses occur. If you suspect that you or your organization’s rights are being violated by a government official or authority it is imperative that you seek legal advice immediately. The power to obtain a complete remedy or satisfactory compensation can be severely limited with the passage of time. Similarly, if you or your organization is being evaluated or judged by a governmental entity it is wise to obtain the assistance of counsel to ensure that your rights are preserved during the administrative process. This Firm is experienced in striking down unfair laws or policies, obtaining emergency court orders to stop abuses immediately, and gaining compensation for violations of civil rights. If you feel you are being prejudiced or harassed by government, schedule a consultation to evaluate your current situation.
