• Illegal searches
• Unlawful arrests
• Wrongful convictions
• Police brutality
• Police shootings

Our civil rights law practice also includes representation for clients facing retaliation for whistleblowing, discrimination in the workplace, and other violations of constitutional rights, federal statutes and whistleblower law:

• Class actions
• First Amendment retaliation
• Whistleblower and qui tam actions
• Declined False Claim Act cases
• Tax fraud and whistleblower law
• Iraq conflict and reconstruction whistleblower cases

In addition to our civil rights work, our trial lawyers also assist clients who have been injured as a result of someone else's negligence, and companies which need representation in a business-related lawsuit or dispute.

• Personal injury
• Commercial litigation

If your civil rights were violated by a police officer during your unlawful arrest or an illegal search of your car or home, you can assert your constitutional rights and seek redress. If you were the victim of police brutality or retaliation at work, act quickly.
