Protecting Your Civil Rights
The United States Constitution grants certain liberties and protections to all U.S. citizens. If your rights have been violated, the attorneys at Weisberg Law, P.C. can help. We support the interests of individuals who have been victimized by wrongful conduct, such as:
- Excessive force: Was excessive force used in your arrest? Using more force than what is reasonably necessary in an arrest is considered police misconduct and may entitle you to compensation for injuries suffered from police brutality.
- False arrest: Were you falsely arrested, over-charged or wrongfully prosecuted for a crime you didn't commit?
- Malicious prosecution: Was law enforcement overzealous in prosecuting you for a crime? Did they overreach your protections and their procedures?
- Wrongful imprisonment: Were you held against your will, in violation of criminal procedure or in excess of your sentence term?
- Violation of due process: Did procedural violations result in the wrongful revocation of your license, liberty or property?
- Violation of equal protection: Were you subjected to misconduct due to your race, ethnicity, disability, religion or membership in a protected class?
- First Amendment violation: Were you arrested in a protest? Your First Amendment rights grant you the right to free speech, to assemble and to protest.
- Public education discrimination: Was your child denied equal access to public education or not provided reasonable accomodations?
- Wrongful litigation/abusive litigation process: Were you subjected to frivolous litigation or SLAPP claims (Strategic Litigation Against Public Participation) in order to quash your voice in a public matter? Were you subjected to wrongful repossession, wrongful foreclosure, wrongful eviction, wrongful debt collection or other wrongful litigation?
