This was the 1st time I've used Zanes Law. It was a fantastic experience for having to go through a situation most would rather not. The attorney and staff were always available to answer my questions and explained things clearly and were obviously 100% in my corner. My attorney, Jim, was very genuine and made me immediately comfortable when I came in to speak with him about my case. Every case manager I dealt with was patient and helpful. I would definitely return to Zanes should the time ever come again that I need a personal injury firm.

From chiropractor to message therapist and making sure I had that extra help like trauma counseling to get through my days! I thank you so much Rachel and Annabelle!

car accident

Zanes Law was a terrific legal experience. I first went to a law firm that only wanted me to go to physical therapy and pad the bill, so they could utilize my insurance policy to its capacity. Once I went to Zanes, they were honest, professional and prompt with calls almost once a week. Sometimes I got a call just because we did not have contact for close to two weeks. Some calls were to just ask how I was doing. I also received more money than originally discussed. Great job Zanes Law!!!!! If need be I will use their services again. THANKS

How do I Know If I Have a Civil Rights Case?

Determining if you have a potential claim depends on the circumstances. Every situation is different, and civil rights cases tend to be very specific and complex. If your basic freedoms or your rights under the Constitution have been violated, you typically may have a case. 

If you or someone you know are unsure as to whether you have a viable civil rights case, a civil rights and liberties attorney in Phoenix can advise you of your options and help you to understand. 

You have a right to due process anytime you are stopped, investigated, arrested, and charged with a crime. Call an attorney for a case evaluation if you believe your rights have been violated.

What Is a 1983 Lawsuit?

The Civil Rights Act of 1871 is also known as U.S. Code 1983. This allows people to sue for certain types of civil rights violations. Filing a 1983 against the police is a way to refer to bringing action against a law enforcement officer or organization that has violated your rights.

The civil action for deprivation of rights, 42 U.S. Code § 1983 creates a legal avenue to sue for compensation for damages and injunctive relief against police, government agencies, or officials when they violate the constitution or the federal law. 

What Exactly Is a Civil Rights Case?

When a person has a complaint that the government, an employer, the police, a school, or other organization violated their rights, they can file a civil rights case. This type of litigation usually involves an entity that failed to act within the boundaries of the law, causing a person to suffer injury, loss of rights, financial loss or some type of damage. 

Some examples of civil rights cases include:

  • Unlawful racial profiling 
  • Prosecutorial misconduct
  • Due Process violations
  • Violation of Miranda Rights or right to an attorney
  • Educational or employment discrimination
  • Housing discrimination
  • Sexual harassment in the workplace

What does a Civil Rights Lawyer Do?

The main purpose of a civil rights and liberties attorney in Phoenix is to defend people by standing up for their rights. They represent those involved in cases where there is a dispute about basic human rights, equality, and discriminatory issues. 

An attorney experienced in civil rights and civil liberties can advocate for people who have experienced violations of rights or liberties guaranteed by the constitution of the United States of America.

Some examples of cases that a civil rights attorney might be involved in include:

  • A person was shot in the back by police, but wasn’t armed – use of excessive force
  • Someone was not hired for a job they were qualified for because they were too old – age discrimination
  • A Black family was denied a lease in an apartment because of their race – racial discrimination
  • Police conducted a search without a warrant or probable cause and discovered illegal drugs – illegal search and seizure
  • A woman told by her male probation officer that she would be put in jail unless she slept with him – abuse of power

Civil rights lawyers will represent you in court, draft legal documents, negotiate settlements and do the necessary legal footwork required for their clients. Civil rights lawyers can represent plaintiffs or defendants, depending on their practice area.

Discrimination in Arizona

We protect the rights of people who experience discrimination based on race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, or gender. Though civil rights in this country have been established for decades, discriminatory practices still happen every day and are too serious to ignore.

If you are a person of color, or a member of the LGBTQ community, you have the right to speak up, defend your rights, and act to stop discrimination. As a civil rights law firm in Arizona, we understand the nature of discriminatory acts committed against members of our communities and remain committed to protecting your federal civil rights.
