A civil rights violation occurs when an individual’s legal rights are infringed upon by government officials, employers, or other entities. This can include acts like police brutality, wrongful detention, discrimination based on protected characteristics, and retaliation for asserting legal rights. Recognizing these violations is the first step toward seeking legal remedy and holding responsible parties accountable.

Understanding key legal terms can help you better navigate your civil rights case. Here are some common terms and their definitions relevant to civil rights law and your legal journey with us.
Police brutality refers to the use of excessive force by law enforcement officers that exceeds what is legally permissible during an arrest or other interactions. It can result in physical harm, violation of rights, and legal claims against the responsible parties.
False arrest occurs when an individual is detained without proper legal authority or justification. This unlawful confinement can be challenged through legal action to seek compensation and prevent future abuses.
Discrimination involves treating someone unfairly or differently based on characteristics such as race, gender, age, disability, or other protected traits. Such actions are prohibited under various civil rights laws and may be subject to legal claims.
Retaliation claims arise when an individual faces adverse actions, such as termination or harassment, for asserting their legal rights or participating in protected activities, including whistleblowing.

A limited approach might focus on specific claims or stages, while comprehensive services handle the entire process including investigation, filing, negotiation, and litigation.
