Civil Rights Litigation

Every citizen of the United States has guaranteed rights under the United States Constitution. Unfortunately, all government agencies experience bad actors. No agency is free from employees who knowingly choose to violate your rights. Police officers, public school officials, even legislatures may have violated you or your loved one’s civil rights. If they have, you need an experienced attorney who isn’t afraid to hold government agencies and actors accountable. Mr. Weinberg has confronted numerous police departments, public schools and even commonwealth attorneys for violating his clients’ rights. Mr. Weinberg recognizes that if bad actors aren’t weeded out, they will continue to harm others. Contact him now to protect yourself and your family and friends.

42 U.S.C. § 1983

Section 1983 is a Reconstruction era civil rights statute that allows victims of unconstitutional state action to sue those persons who have injured them. Most of these claims are litigated in federal court. Mr. Weinberg has filed numerous claims under Section 1983 for constitutional violations on behalf of his clients and will help you with yours.

Many government actors try to shield themselves from liability through arguments based on sovereign immunity or qualified immunity. You need an attorney who can navigate these arguments to get your case heard in court.

Police Brutality Litigation

Far too many people fall victim to police brutality without ever having a chance to hold the police officers accountable for the pain they have caused. Police violate your rights through actions such as lack of probable cause, false imprisonment, wrongful arrest and excessive force. The only way to seek redress for your injuries, and help prevent others from similar mistreatment, is to file a lawsuit against the police officers to hold them accountable. Through legal action we can help make our country a better place for every citizen and minimize the harmful conduct many of use fall victim to. Mr. Weinberg carefully evaluates every claim of wrongful police conduct to help his clients determine if their rights have been violated. If you or your loved one has fallen victim to police brutality, contact Mr. Weinberg today to schedule a consultation.
