Civil RIghts

Civil Rights

We take pride in asserting civil rights claims on behalf of individual citizens against government officials, government agencies, public institutions, and private employers for violations of the individual’s rights under the United States Constitution.

Have you by unlawfully searched? Maliciously prosecuted? Wrongly incarcerated? We can help. Have you been a victim of housing discrimination? Redlining? Rental discrimination? We can help.

Personal Injury

Personal Injury

Injured? Get the compensation you deserve. An injury can be life altering. When the injury is caused by the negligence or recklessness of person, business or other entity, the only avenue of compensation available is financial. Victims need and deserve personal injury compensation—to pay for such things as medical expenses, to recoup lost income, and as compensation for their pain, suffering and emotional distress.

We hope you never need to hire a personal injury attorney. We know that when you contact our office, you are likely dealing with one of the most difficult situations you will face in your lifetime. For this reason, we strive to make your experience with our law firm as smooth and painless as possible. Learn more here.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with John on a couple of occasions. I’ve found him to be extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He is very good at thinking outside of the box and giving you all the possible scenarios in a given situation. I would use his services again.
