Constitutional / Civil Rights Law
When situations arise that involve constitutional rights, often the solution to enforce those constitutional rights is through civil litigation. Whether challenging the constitutionality of legislation and executive orders, or prosecuting claims against governmental agencies for violations of constitutional rights, our attorneys are experienced at guiding clients through these complex constitutional arguments in the federal court system. Cases can be brought offensively to challenge government action, to hold the government accountable for wrongs committed, or defensively against improper legal actions brought by the government. These cases often involve multiple layers of the court system, as the issues are rarely conclusively decided by the district court without the losing side appealing the circuit or even the U.S. Supreme Court.
