The United States and the California Constitution were ratified for the purpose of securing the fundamental rights and the personal liberty of all persons subject to the jurisdiction of these great charters. Among these fundamental civil rights and liberties are the freedoms of speech, religion, assembly, the right to petition the government, the right to keep and bear arms, the right to property, due process, and equal protection of the law and the right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures.

Unfair treatment alone does not necessarily involve a violation of civil rights and liberties. But if the government violates the constitution or its own laws, or it discriminates against you for exercising your rights or because of your race, religion, sex, sexual orientation or nationality, then the citizen becomes the enforcer of the law by holding the government accountable in its own courts.

This idea: That the individual citizen can hold the government accountable for wrongful conduct, in much the same way that the government holds law-breakers liable after proof of a crime, is part of what makes this country great.

Our Civil Rights cases are handled on a case by case basis. Costs and legal fees will be discussed with the lawyer during the initial consultation.
