As mentioned, civil rights law is broad. Come to our office to get better informed of where you stand in your civil rights dispute.
Since most civil rights laws derive from the Civil Rights Act of 1964, they exist at the federal level and closely resemble state civil rights statutes. Trying to figure out the differences between state and federal civil rights laws can be confusing since there are so many situations in which your rights can come into question.
Our idea of civil rights is rooted in the Constitution, which guarantees that all Americans are entitled to the same basic freedoms — whether it's freedom from discrimination or the right to receive equal pay for equal work. Or, if you’re engaged in a peaceful protest and merely exercising your First Amendment right to freedom of speech, then the police can’t take forceful measures to suppress that freedom. You're entitled to defend your rights all the way to the court. Let us help you do that.
Our unalienable rights exist in the Constitution — in plain black and white. It’s far from uncommon for law officials to take matters into their own hands, breaking the Fourth Amendment and your right to a secure space that shouldn’t be searched without a warrant or probable cause. Contact us for a free consultation, and we’ll walk you through the litigation process.
