Civil Rights
Protecting Your Human Rights And Freedoms
Many civil rights laws were enacted in order to prevent discrimination based on membership in certain classes, and eliminate the effects of offensive or demeaning stereotypes, prejudices, and biases. We vigorously prosecute those who infringe upon our clients' civil rights to the fullest extent of the law. 		 
Your Advantage
We have successfully tried numerous civil rights cases and employment disputes in the federal and courts and at various administrative agencies. With over 30 years experience in civil rights matters, we have become extremely proficient at maximizing the value of our clients' claims while maintaining a cost-effective approach.

We represent clients who believe they have been the victims of a civil rights violation, whether it is official misconduct, sexual harassment, intimidation, violation of free speech or due process rights, or discrimination - race, color, sex, religion, national origin, ancestry, age, disability, sexual orientation, marital status - in employment, public accommodation, education, housing, or voting under federal or state law.

  
We have represented clients in claims involving violations of federal, state, and local civil rights laws including:
  • Title VI
  • Title VII
  • Title IX
  • American with Disabilities Act (ADA)
  • Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
  • Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA)
  • First Amendment
Our firm stresses that harassment and discrimination protections are not limited to claims against the government or an employer. The same protections apply to the educational arena: in the classroom, to student relations, in athletics, and to student social settings.

Please Note: The law limits the time in which you may file a civil rights claim. If you think you have been the victim of harassment, intimidation, or discrimination please bring your questions and concerns to our attention at the earliest possible date to determine the applicable time requirements and deadlines.
