Misconduct by police, and other civil rights violations cause losses for victims, but such actions are also harmful to society as a whole. For this reason, federal law allows you to enforce your rights and hold the responsible parties legally accountable.
We Fight for You in a Wide Range of Federal Civil Rights Issues
Civil rights cases involve highly technical areas of law under the US Constitution and other federal laws. Most claims arise in the context of employment, housing, or unlawful actions by police. Our firm works with victims in a wide range of misconduct and civil rights violations, including:
In some of these cases, it is necessary to first file a civil rights complaint with the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). It is only after you exhaust these administrative remedies that you can file a lawsuit in civil court.
The strategy for pursuing your rights will vary depending on your circumstances. Our team can provide more specific information after conducting a case evaluation. Mr. Glasgow works within a network of civil rights attorneys, so we can refer you to the best lawyer available for your situation.
