Civil Rights

Most convictions are correct, and it is only a small fraction of criminal convictions that are wrongfully made due to police misconduct. But wrongful convictions are unacceptable and should not be tolerated because they place innocent people behind bars.

Those who have endured a wrongful conviction at the hands of law enforcement may be entitled to compensation for their lost time and any harm that they have suffered.

Nationally Recognized Public Client Lawyers

State and local governments have a legal duty to address issues like environmental poisoning, healthcare fraud, opioid painkiller addiction, consumer fraud, and other issues. Previously, many governmental units lacked the resources to expose large-scale corporate wrongdoing, identify the remedies available, and obtain these remedies in court. As a result, citizens were often exposed to danger.

Our Difference

Attorneys can take on human trafficking from many angles and use civil, criminal law and employment regulations to bring traffickers to justice. To assist survivors and protect their rights, lawyers have required traffickers to compensate their victims and fought charges leveled against women forced into prostitution.

As financial compensation, trafficking victims are eligible for criminal restitution awards and civil damages. Victims can receive restitution for their losses and the value of their work performed for forced labor-even if the work is deemed illegal-in multiple federal courts.

Overall, the need for lawyers to support survivors of human trafficking is vital, as is raising awareness among the legal community.

SEE OUR DIFFERENCE

Being involved in an automobile accident can happen in the blink of an eye and can change your life and the lives of your loved ones drastically for years to come. This was certainly true in one of the firm’s recent personal injury cases.

From the beginning, it was clear that our client was in physical, emotional and mental pain as a result of the accident that had occurred in the fall of 2013.

“His list of injuries was extensive, exacerbated by the fact that he was recovering from a previous surgery at the time of the accident” says Kristina Georgiou, one of the personal injury associates who worked on the case from Day One. “I cannot even imagine the level of pain he continues to endure to this day.”
