CIVIL RIGHTS LITIGATION
A variety of complicated issues arise in civil and constitutional rights cases. Citizens are oftentimes unaware that their rights, granted under the United States Constitution and relevant state constitution, are protected by the court through a number of different devices, including, but not limited to, the Due Process clause, Equal Protection clause, First Amendment, Section 1983 lawsuits and state and federal civil rights statutes. If you have a civil rights legal issue, contact us to protect your rights and to explore your legal options.
LIBEL, SLANDER, DEFAMATION
A defamatory statement does not need to be broadcast to a national audience in order to establish a claim
for defamation, libel or slander. Defamation cases
are often uniquely local in nature since defamatory statements profoundly affect reputations in local communities and professional networks. Defamation matters can arise from outlets such as local newspaper publication, television media outlets or even the internet.
