A civil rights violation occurs when an individual’s rights protected by federal, state, or local laws are infringed upon. This can manifest as unlawful discrimination, abuse by law enforcement, or denial of equal access to services. Identifying these violations is the first step toward seeking legal remedy and restoring justice.

Legal processes may include mediation, administrative hearings, or court trials. Our firm guides clients through these steps to ensure their rights are defended effectively.
Understanding terminology related to civil rights law can empower clients during their legal journey. Below are key terms frequently encountered in civil rights cases along with their definitions for clarity.
Discrimination refers to unfair treatment of an individual or group based on characteristics such as race, age, gender, disability, or sexual orientation. Laws prohibit discrimination in employment, housing, and public services.
Retaliation claims arise when an individual faces adverse actions for asserting their rights or participating in protected activities, such as filing complaints or whistleblowing. Legal protection exists to prevent such punitive measures.
