Radna, P.C., we can offer the assistance you need. Our attorneys are happy to represent those who have had their rights violated and will fight to get you the best results.
Understanding Your Civil Rights
The United States Constitution includes several civil rights that are guaranteed for citizens of the country. When police misconduct occurs, it is often based on specific civil rights. You should be aware of your rights so you can do something if they are violated by a member of law enforcement. Common civil rights involved in legal cases include:
The First Amendment – This amendment guarantees freedom of speech and keeps citizens safe from retaliation based on that speech. This is often associated with cases involving whistleblowers, which are also called a qui tam lawsuit.
The Fourth Amendment – This protects you from illegal seizures, searches, and police brutality. We’ve represented many clients in these cases, along with wrongful conviction and unlawful arrest cases, which are violations of the fifth and fourteenth amendments.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 – This act prohibits state and federal government and employers from discriminating based on sex, color, race, religion, or national origin. This act is often a part of employment law cases.
