People rely on their civil rights to be safe from discrimination. When someone else infringes on those basic rights, the victims should hire a New Jersey civil rights lawyer to protect their interests and help them recover damages.

Whether it is racial discrimination or a violation of an individual’s freedom of speech or religion, federal, state and local laws exist to protect these rights. Depending on the type of discrimination, violations can involve physical injury or financial loss.

Tenacious Civil Rights Attorney for Harmed Victims

A tenacious civil rights attorney for harmed victims can take on government entities and insurance companies to pursue justice for a victim. Our firm’s clients value our empathy and understanding of the difficulties they face in navigating the legal process. Our approach inside and outside the courtroom is intelligent and strategic, allowing victims to focus on recovery and their families’ needs.

We handle a wide range of civil rights claims, including wrongful death and personal injury lawsuits for victims whose constitutional and statutory rights have been violated. Some of the most egregious civil rights violations include police brutality, wrongful arrests and sex discrimination in employment, housing, education, and public accommodations.

For example, a college may refuse to accept your application because of your race, even though you graduated high school with a great GPA and test scores. This is a clear violation of your civil rights. Likewise, if you are denied service at an establishment due to your disability or because of the way you look, this is also a clear violation of your civil rights.
