    KNOW YOUR CIVIL RIGHTS

    Understanding your civil rights is the first step toward justice. The U.S. Constitution and federal statutes — including the Civil Rights Act, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and 42 U.S.C. § 1983 — protect you from government overreach, police abuse, workplace discrimination, and more. You may have a civil rights claim if you have experienced:

    • Police brutality or excessive force during an arrest or detention
    • Wrongful arrest or false imprisonment without probable cause
    • Employment discrimination based on race, gender, disability, age, or national origin
    • Sexual harassment in the workplace or hostile work environment
    • ADA violations by employers or public accommodations
    • Prison or jail misconduct including inadequate medical care or inhumane conditions
    • Housing discrimination based on a protected characteristic

    If you are unsure whether your situation constitutes a civil rights violation, contact a Novo Legal civil rights attorney in Denver or Seattle today — consultations are free.
