Civil Rights

Civil rights attorneys handle cases involving the rights of individuals to be free from unequal treatment (or “discrimination”) based on legally-protected characteristics such as race, gender, disability, national origin, age, sexual orientation, and religion. Civil rights cases can arise in a number of settings -- including employment, housing, lending, and education.
