Our civil rights litigation attorneys understand the high-stakes consequences of constitutional litigation and have experience successfully defending government officials and agencies in all aspects of civil rights law. Our civil rights litigation attorneys have decades of experience defending law enforcement, correctional facilities, school districts, local governments, and state agencies in state and federal courts. Our civil rights law experience provides us with the important knowledge of the standards applicable to government officials and the immunities afforded to state and local governments and officials essential to a strong defense in civil rights litigation.

Our attorneys have defended hundreds of cases alleging violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Equal Pay Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, and the Pregnancy Discrimination Act. Our decades of experience and a proven record of results defending employers give our attorneys the skills and knowledge necessary to present a strong defense in civil rights litigation and employment discrimination claims. We understand that employment discrimination claims affect the entire workplace, and we work aggressively to defend employers so they can focus on their important work.
