Civil Rights/Employment Discrimination

More and more frequently, individuals, businesses, corporations and municipalities are confronted with claims under the Federal Civil Rights Act and other statutes. We defend and prosecute civil rights actions under Title VII, Title IX as well as the Family and Medical Leave Act, claims of sexual harassment and related state statutes.

We have defended and prosecuted claims under 42U.S.C. Section 1983 regarding civil rights violations concerning police officers, municipalities, corrections officers and other governmental employees. There are intricacies involved with establishing and defending against claims which must be confronted and overcome. Additionally, these cases often have unique damages which must be carefully assessed and effectively handled at trial. By paying careful attention to the details, we have successfully represented municipalities, police, corrections officers, corporations and individual clients.
