Civil Rights

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” – Martin Luther King Jr

If you or a loved one have experienced discrimination or a violation of your rights, you should know your legal options and contact our attorneys who have a proven track record. Justice Law Collaborative fights hard for their clients-taking on the biggest institutions.

As Americans, we take pride in our civil rights. The law is supposed to provide every person with safety, liberty, equity, and the ability to pursue happiness. But far too often, these rights are attacked by politicians, police departments, prisons, hate groups, and other organizations.  Systematic racial discrimination in the justice system, harsh criminal punishments, excessive police force, poor treatment of prisoners, and neglected labors rights are among the most important issues in the United States today. 

Threats to your civil rights — racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, class oppression, ableism, etc. — are threats to your wellbeing and health. Civil rights violations are often traumatic events that leave long-term emotional distress and physical injury.  If your civil rights have been violated, civil litigation may allow you to strike back against an unjust system, be compensated for your injuries, regain a sense of power and, even, facilitate your personal healing process.
