Civil Rights & Discrimination
No one should face discrimination or mistreatment because of their race, national origin, gender, religion, or disability. No one should face abuse by the state or punishment for a crime they did not commit. No one should be denied their fundamental right to vote, speak freely, or participate in the press. These abuses are harmful not just to the individuals who suffer them, but to our society as a whole. We help get justice for people whose civil rights have been violated, whether that means monetary compensation, changing an illegal policy, or simply making sure that what happened to you won’t happen to someone else. Your rights matter. We’ll help enforce them—in New York, New Jersey, or Connecticut.
We represent victims of law enforcement violence and abuse and people who have been wrongfully arrested, prosecuted, or imprisoned.
We take on employers who illegally discriminate and fight for victims of sexual harassment inside and outside the workplace.
We get justice for people who have been hurt or mistreated in New York City jails and state prisons.
We stand up for people with disabilities who have been abused or neglected by the people and agencies entrusted to care for them.
We represent innocent people convicted of crimes they did not commit, helping to overturn false convictions and win compensation.
We challenge violations of freedom of speech and freedom of the press, and champion the right to vote freely and without intimidation.
We represent people who have been unfairly denied equal housing opportunity because of their race, gender, disability, or family status.
We help secure the rights of those who have faced discrimination or harassment in a school setting.
