Civil Rights What our firm can do to assist you in enforcing your civil rights. Our firm has a long history of representing individuals whose civil rights have been denied by local, state or federal authorities. Non-governmental entities can also be guilty of civil rights violations. Attorney's fees, especially in cases involving persons who are acting on behalf of local, state or federal governments, are paid by the party found guilty of civil rights violations. Therefore, if we are successful in winning or settling your case, even for one dollar, your attorney's fees may be paid by the other party. If we do not win, you may not owe our firm attorney's fees. When have my civil rights been violated? A civil rights violation may occur when you have been treated adversely or been discriminated against because of your sex, race, national origin, age, handicap, or religion or merely because you are associated with someone else that is protected under these protected categories . Furthermore, if you suffer retaliation because you asserted your right to be free from discrimination or because you have supported someone else, you may be entitled to recover money damages. What if I believe my civil rights have been violated? The legal steps to protecting your rights can be complicated and you must act quickly. Send us an explanation and we will evaluate your case and get back to you as soon as possible.
