KNOW YOUR CIVIL RIGHTS
Understanding your civil rights is the first step in knowing if they have been violated. Sometimes it can be challenging to know when an action against you will be a civil case or a criminal case. If you’ve experienced situations such as workplace harassment, discrimination, excessive force at the hands of police, or inhuman prison conditions, you may have a civil rights case.
Civil Rights Case vs Criminal Case
The Rights of Immigrants
While the U.S. Constitution does not give individuals from another country the right to enter the U.S. without proper documentation, once someone is in the U.S., they are protected from discrimination based on their national origin and race. Whether documented or undocumented, immigrants have the right to free speech and religion, fair treatment, and a right to privacy, among other fundamental rights that U.S. citizens have.
NOVO LEGAL WILL FIGHT FOR YOU
If you think your civil rights have been violated, you should not have to suffer in silence. While it may feel difficult to stand up for yourself against a government agency such as an employer, housing provider, or law enforcement, you don’t have to face these challenges alone. Civil rights law is complex and can be difficult to navigate without the help of an attorney. Novo Legal has a team of experienced civil rights lawyers who are ready to fight for you.
