Your Rights Were Violated? Start Here

If your civil rights have been violated by law enforcement or an employer, this is where you take control.

This service is for individuals dealing with:

  • Excessive force or brutality by police officers
  • Unlawful arrest, detention, or search and seizure
  • Racial profiling or discriminatory policing
  • Workplace discrimination based on race, gender, age, or disability
  • Retaliation for reporting discrimination or misconduct

Our Role

You're likely dealing with trauma, fear, and uncertainty. Our role is simple: handle the legal battle so you can focus on moving forward.

Signs You May Have a Case

Excessive Force Was Used

An officer used force that was unreasonable or disproportionate to the situation

You Were Unlawfully Arrested or Detained

You were arrested or held without probable cause or legal justification

You Experienced Workplace Discrimination

You were treated unfairly based on race, gender, age, disability, or another protected characteristic

You Were Retaliated Against

You faced adverse action after reporting discrimination, harassment, or misconduct

A Constitutional Right Was Violated

Your rights under the U.S. Constitution were disregarded by a government actor

Have doubts?

If you're unsure, that's exactly when you should speak with an attorney.
